Cauthen has been a determined rider ever since he began practicing yoga at 13 to heighten his concentration; a year earlier he was flailing at hay bales to improve his whip technique. But simple cures are often hard to find for slumping athletes. Cauthen, however, does not appear to have picked up any bad technical habits. "He's not doing anything different," growls Barrera. Nor is growth the problem; Cauthen is less than an inch taller than he was when...

It was not easy, even with Jerry Ford in the White House, to begin watching for pratfalls instead of apocalypses. Still, by the time Jimmy Carter tried to whip up a moral crusade for energy conservation, much of the country seemed to have perfected the knack of shrugging off the alarms of crisis. It was easy to read that mood as indifference, but it is more reasonable to suppose the country just needed a rest...
