...atmosphere has been clearing. After the snow dropped (18 in. in town, 49 in. on the mountains), the smog eased, and American athletes found less need for the purifying "air ecologizers" the team had packed. "I've been spending a lot of time in my room," says Rosalynn Sumners, whose most important week is finally here. "The air's O.K. there. But the only problem is that I've had too much time to think." When she has ventured outdoors, occasionally she has been seen in the company of Archrival Elaine Zayak and young Tiffany Chin. Figure...
...team of 120 athletes headed for Sarajevo is flush with champions, and not only skaters this time, although there is a bumper haul of those, but skiers too. Count them, seven current or recent world titleholders: Alpine Skiers Phil Mahre, Steve Mahre and Tamara McKinney, Figure Skaters Scott Hamilton, Rosalynn Sumners and Elaine Zayak, and Nordic Cross-Country Skier Bill Koch. Once the American public finds out that there is also a Nordic combined event and that it involves a 70-meter leap one day along with a 15-km mush the next, who will believe that just about...

Zayak, for her part, is not thinking much beyond the Olympics, the grand chance to redeem her string of failures. "It's made me mad," she says, "and when I'm mad, watch out!" -By Kurt Andersen.

Like many a President's term in office, a young lady's sweet sixteenth birthday comes only once. And so in honor of the occasion, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter showed up at Woodward Academy last week to take Amy and three school girlfriends out for a surprise family dinner in Atlanta. In addition to the requisite birthday cake, Amy received a bouquet of balloons and a few gifts. But she was back at the private boarding school for the p.m. curfew. She entered Woodward as a junior this fall. And, who knows, the once retiring Amy may follow...
