...elaborate such previews TIME has ever produced -- and a reflection of what we gauge to be unprecedented global interest in this quadrennial celebration of athletic excellence. The project was assembled under the direction of Senior Editor Jose M. Ferrer III, who also edited last February's preview of the Winter Games in Calgary. "There are many sources of information about the Olympics, from elaborate access guides to last-minute look-ahead capsules in the newspapers," says Ferrer. "Our package is designed for the solid amateur Olympics fan, one who does not need an encyclopedic guide but wants a serious warm...
Seoul, in short, is a city of "verys," a place of extremes that demands and enforces toughness. In winter it is bitingly cold, with winds blowing down from Siberia; in summer, so hot that some choose to sleep in the streets. Simply negotiating the city is a task that is not for the faint of body. To cross busy roads, pedestrians must clamber up overpasses or, more frequently, descend into underground mazes that seethe with shops and exits.

Highway bottlenecks are occurring on once lonely stretches like I-70 about 60 miles west of Denver, where throngs of cars bearing ski racks turn the interstate into a virtual parking lot each winter. North Kendall Drive, a suburban Miami thoroughfare described as a "road to nowhere" when it was built some 20 years ago, is now almost as choked as Manhattan streets. The number of airports considered by the FAA to be severely congested, meaning they suffer from annual flight delays...
