...nation's ninth largest city (pop. 783,300) gleams with the glass, steel and fountains of Charles Center, a $175 million commercial complex. The 240 acres surrounding the city's formerly decrepit docks now feature a 33-story World Trade Center, a science museum and Harborplace, a stylish arcade of restaurants and emporiums developed by James Rouse, creator of Boston's Quincy Market.

Elaine Zayak, the 15-year-old American buzz saw who hurtles into triple jumps with wild abandon, served notice that she will soon be a major force in figure skating (see box), finishing second in the women's competition. A stylish Swiss, Denise Biellmann, 18, showed a few complicated moves of her own and took the gold. And once more, the Soviets proved that at least one factory is meeting its production quota quite successfully: Irina Vorobieva and Igor Lisovski won the gold medal for pairs, joining a line of Russian...
