...sloppy curatorship, and "Paris-Moscow"- which depended largely on loans from the Soviet Union-was intellectually crippled by the Russian cultural apparatchiks who wrote its catalogue, although much of the art itself was, in either case, extraordinary. The best of the three was "Paris-Berlin," although one needed the stamina of a goat to traverse the screes and piles of evidence it presented. But in all three shows there was the lure of epic subject, rightly presented by Director Pontus Hulten and his staff as one of the great dramas of cultural history...
Jimmy Carter, 56, on a 1½-week tour of China, dined with Premier Zhao Ziyang, cycled with commuters and displayed Sherpa-like stamina by scampering up and down the steeper sections of the Great Wall as Wife Rosalynn and former Press Secretary Jody Powell, 37, gasped for breath.

The racing world was surprised when the relatively unknown son of His Majesty took the Derby (1¼ miles). Horsemen conceded him the shorter Preakness (1 3/16 miles) but are now murmuring that he will fade in a race as long as the Belmont (1½ miles). Not Johnny Campo.
