...track-and-field program may be the men's long jump. If Carl Lewis makes the team and Cuba's formidable Ivan Pedroso isn't recovered from a recent operation, the grand old man of American track can collect his fourth straight long-jump gold medal, which would tie him with Al Oerter, who had four straight in the discus...
...with top Clinton appointees at the homes of such luminaries as Ethel Kennedy and Vice President Al Gore. Those who gave $5,000 or more received a briefing by Clinton Cabinet officers, while the largest moneybags (those in the $250,000 category) got the best seats at the black-tie dinner on the second night...
...conglomerate of nine divisions and more than 100 companies--the mix is churning constantly--out of an imposing Victorian mansion in London's posh Holland Park, only a few steps from his home and family. The office is surprisingly calm. He is cheerfully rumpled, slipping out of his still tied shoes (revealing a small hole in a green sock), shunning coat and tie like a squirmy 12-year-old.

...double-digit IQ could lead to immense worldly success if accompanied by a good heart and simple decency. It is the essence of Capra's best-loved heroes. Jefferson Smith must contend with the schemes of Senator Paine, his onetime hero who plays a scene decked out in white tie and tails. In Meet John Doe, Gary Cooper battles the fascistic schemes of the super-rich Edward Arnold, who is seen in an elegant dining room complete with tuxedo and cigar. In Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Cooper must defend himself against a courtroom full of slickly dressed, high-priced...
