...infield, children spun pinwheels or broke boards with their feet. Devil masks were brandished in a pantomime of chaos. Like East and West, or North and South, yin slammed yang in a breathtaking display of ropework and philosophy. But the exquisite counterpoint to all the violent charades was the sight of a boy nearly seven, born in Seoul on the day the Games were awarded, rolling a hoop across the suddenly empty lawn...
...bellman at the Old Faithful Inn knocked at 6:45 a.m. last Wednesday to begin an evacuation of the popular sight-seeing area surrounding Yellowstone Park's fabled geyser. As tourists became refugees, parts of the fire-ravaged park resembled a war zone. Clouds of smoke stretched as far away as Denver, 400 miles southeast. The worst flare-up, on Wednesday, roared through 56,000 acres in six hours and pushed to within a mile of the geyser. Flames 200 ft. high swooped down on a village not far from the Old Faithful Inn, destroying more than a dozen buildings...

...mark of 4:16.12 in the 400-meter medley is just a fraction of a second behind Darnyi's record of 4:15.42. Oddly, each man suffers from a sensory disability. Wharton is partially deaf and wears a hearing aid when on dry land. Darnyi has had only partial sight in his left eye since 1983. "We were fooling around in the snow when a snowball hit me in the eye," explains the swimmer. "It caused a detached retina." Despite four eye operations, and against the advice of his doctors, Darnyi , returned to competition in 1984. Between his typical eleven...
