...animals. Typically, winter kills 5% to 15% of the herds; this season more than half of some herds could die. Colorado, with 550,000 deer and 130,000 elk, may spend $1.6 million for emergency feeding. One morning last week near Kremmling, Colo., Gerrans and his crew took their Sno-Cat, a huge cart with tanklike treads, rumbling out for the daily 14-mile feeding sortie.

While the officials and the lawyers wrangled, the athletes swarmed into the Adirondack village that had the gumption to become the host for the Games. Far up on Whiteface Mountain, growling Sno-Cats groomed the courses that will test the finest skiers in the world, while speed skaters glided across a shining oval of ice in front of Lake Placid High School. It could be-it should be-a glorious Winter Olympics...
