...Heiden, the greatest speed skater in history?and an American?has flashed through without leaving a trace. Dianne Holum, the coach of the 18-member speed-skating team, a four-time Olympic medalist herself, laments, "You would hope that after Eric's success the sport would grow. The disappointment is the realization now that it will never happen." The Olympic speed-skating team is in some disarray, quarreling over coaching methods. Several of the male skaters continue to follow defrocked Coach Bob Corby, who offended some of the women by his concern for their weight. Furnished...

...Memories are peculiarly tenacious. Hitler may have discovered as much after the German High Command issued its Nacht und Nebel decree in the western occupied territories, enabling authorities to snatch citizens off the street and out of their homes under night and fog. "The prisoners will vanish without a trace," read the decree. They did not. They were traced in the minds of those who survived. Feelings are still harder to dispose of.

This is particularly frustrating, since the exhibition rooms, possibly suggesting the museum's priorities, are cramped and poky. One strategy might...

Infidels is prime Dylan, but the master of simple love songs, Paul McCartney, is his own worst enemy on Pipes of Peace (Columbia). After last year's superb Tug of War, McCartney returns to his deep-pile pop and sinks without a trace. Some of this material was apparently intended for Tug of War; it would have been kinder to McCartney's reputation if the stuff had stayed on file. You have to be very good indeed to survive lyrics like "I know I was a crazy fool/ For treating you the way I did/ But something took...
