...meter event since a 1924 bronze. In Sarajevo, all eyes will be on Finland's renowned Matti Nykanen. That is just fine with Jeff Hastings, 24, and Mike Holland, 22, both legitimate medal contenders. They have flown on their 16-lb. skis since their childhood days in Norwich, Vt. It was not a desire for the limelight that has had them flying. "Defying gravity for a few seconds is kind of addictive," says Hastings, who bested Nykanen at a December meet. The pair trains year round with four two-week European jaunts, warm-weather practice on plastic-matted jumps...
...price of a one-day lift ticket at an Eastern resort like Sugarbush, in Warren, Vt., is now $25 (slightly less in Western areas). Take your wife and two teen-agers along and that's $100, Daddy, not counting lunch. An overnight, with dinner and breakfast, costs an extra $200. Figure $500 or more for each adult-size person for skis, poles, boots and bindings, and an additional $300 to $500 for bib pants, ski jacket, long Johns, socks and gloves...
Smith's sudden promotion was as big a surprise to him as to anyone else: the 6-ft. 5-in. outdoorsman was on vacation near Brattleboro, Vt., and had just come home from a flying lesson when he got a telephone call from Broyles, summoning him back to New York. Smith asked, "Can I come back to Vermont after the meeting?" Replied Broyles: "I don't think you are going to want to." Next morning Graham gave Smith the good news over breakfast, and he took charge as soon as the decision was announced. Said the exuberant Smith...
There are glimpses of him chopping wood and playing tennis at his secluded and heavily guarded Cavendish, Vt., estate. In an 80-minute interview on the popular French literary talk show Apostrophes, Soviet Exile Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 65, among other things reiterated his plea to the American people to stand up to the Soviet Union ("Do not go down on your knees like the pacifists of Western Europe"). The writer's ringing endorsement of the virtues of military power might be welcome at the White House, but it is bound to irk Europe's leftist intellectuals-something that should...
...three-year seminary investigation, supervised by Bishop John Marshall of Burlington, Vt., has produced little anxiety, and some seminaries have even found the meetings with visiting clergy to be enjoyable. But the visits have only just begun, and future tension is possible because of the Vatican's insistence that all theologians and biblical scholars must submit to the church's teaching authority, which is clearly not the case on some campuses. Not all schools are happy with the decree from Rome that only priests can serve as spiritual directors and that as a general rule nuns...
