Duncan has a great ability to know when her shot is off and she tends to stop shooting when that happens, as in last Friday's 66-62 loss to Princeton. However, Delaney Smith realizes that Duncan is more dangerous on her off nights than most players can be on their best nights...
...finish. The boyish Nykanen, 24, punched the air in triumph and seemed to ignore the awed congratulations of Pavel Ploc and Jiri Malec, the Czechs who finished a distant second and third. The decisive win in the 70-meter competition gave Nykanen his first gold at Calgary, with a shot at an unprecedented second and third this week in the weather-delayed 90-meter individual and team events. It also made him the first jumper in some 50 years to finish first in more than one Olympics...
...cocaine, Dom Perignon and money. The whole sordid story appears anew in Roxanne's latest attempt to cash in on her notoriety (previous ventures included posing nude, for $70,000, for Playboy).

For one thing, the President intends to raise $10 billion in 1989 through the sale of federal assets like the Naval Petroleum Reserves and other one-shot gimmicks that will do nothing to reduce the deficit permanently. The President wants to boost outlays for education, law enforcement, science and AIDS research -- all worthy proposals -- but steadfastly refuses to support tax hikes to finance increased spending over the long run. Moreover, Reagan's budget projections are based on the decidedly optimistic assumption that the gross national product...
