...assailed the uneven application of wage and price controls, working a traditional Democratic campaign theme of the little man fighting the party of big business. While worker salaries are in "a deep freeze," he claimed in Dallas, the president of Dow Chemical Co. received a pay raise of 196% and has to "eke out an existence on $305,000 a year." He inveighed against tax loopholes for the rich. "You pay for every martini lunch that a businessman deducts-while you eat a bologna sandwich."

Olga, 17, put on a dazzling first-round performance on the uneven bars in the team event that had observers rubbing their eyes in disbelief. In the all-round event, however, Olga brushed her toe on the ground during her mount, lost both her poise and rhythm and returned to her seat barely blinking back the tears after recording a disastrous score of 7.50 (out of a possible 10). Undaunted, she overcame her jitters and returned the next...
