...sing The Star-Spangled Banner three times. After so many trips onto the podium, Evans concluded, "It's always the same -- pure honor." The littlest mermaid sees everything in a race, but nobody can see her. She makes you want to fish her out of the surf somehow, and hoist her up some way, to uncover just what she really does and whether her high-speed rotary blades have twelve arms or only eight. Matt Biondi, the reluctant Mark Spitz, may have been wasting his time studying dolphins...
...Opper wonders how he got along without Surfline. A TV sports producer by profession and beach bum at heart, the Californian dials 976-SURF almost every day. For 95 cents a call, Surfline reviews beach conditions along 485 miles of coast from Santa Cruz to San Diego, updated twice daily based on reports from 100 part-time scouts. Says Opper, 39: "It's like having a direct line to King Neptune." Thanks to devoted dialers like Opper, the 3 1/2-year-old Surfline handles 1.2 million calls a year in California and has expanded to three area codes in Florida...
...beginning this summer's pilgrimage, Turnberry on the west coast seems a happy spot, being so convenient to Glasgow.

The Los Angeles native rolled through University High and a stint in the Coast Guard Reserve, and didn't decide to make acting a career until he had already appeared in six movies. Since then he has brightened 22 more with his surf's-up amiability and his bursts of flummoxed intensity. He has played a Texas teenager (The Last Picture Show) and a down-on-his-heels boxer (Fat City), second-string to a big ape (the 1976 King Kong), a gentle lover and a sick slasher (he was both in Jagged Edge...
...summer. Time for Soviet workers weary from the rigors of perestroika to enjoy the sun and surf at their favorite beaches. This year, however, Soviet vacationers received a rude shock: from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, ; signs warned bathers to swim at their own risk because the water was polluted...
