...margin, Tarheel State Republicans chose Congressman James Broyhill, a mainstream conservative, over the N.C.C.'s man, former Ambassador to Rumania David Funderbunk, to run for the Senate seat vacated by another Helms protege, retiring Senator John East. Broyhill promptly announced that he would wage his campaign without the help of Helms' organization, thank you very much. The continuing bitterness in G.O.P. ranks brought smiles to Democrat Terry Sanford, 68, a onetime North Carolina Governor, who, in a crowded field of ten candidates, won his party's Senate nomination with 60% of the vote...
...occurred to the Los Angeles Times's Jim Murray that putting Indiana's famous bully in charge of an Olympic team is like "assembling an aircraft carrier to ply the waters between Staten Island and the Battery." Murray wonders: "All this to beat Uruguay?" Behind former North Carolina Tarheel Michael Jordan, the Americans crushed Uruguay, 104-68.

The Atlantic Coast Conference fluked its way to national attention last March behind the improbable coaching of Norm Sloane and the big-city talents in-his North Carolina State roster. The Wolfpack, with their Tarheel and Terrapin brethren from Chapel Hill and College Park, returned to more plausible post-season performances this go round; they all lost...
Luther H. Hodges Jr., 37, is the son of a former Governor of North Carolina, and political observers in the Tarheel State expect him to launch his own bid for the statehouse before the decade is out. Hard-driving and talented, Hodges is chairman of the North Carolina National Bank, which he has helped propel from 65th to 25th largest in the U.S. (assets: $2.7 billion) in the last 14 years. A Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina and a Harvard Business School graduate, Hodges has never held a public elective office, but he has been active...
