...many Red Sox games on TV channel 38, which offers good camera work and Hawk Harrelson's witticisms. The Globe's Peter Gammons is arguably the top baseball writer in the nation, and his Sunday columns are special treats. If you enjoy the finer things in life, Wonderland is a good dog track, Suffolk Downs has thoroughbred horse racing and Connecticut has jai-alai. See you around the Hub, sports...

Yet one final, unlisted event was under way well before the last athletes had straggled out of Olympic Village. The happening: the great downhill plunge from celebrity to obscurity. The sole entrant: Lake Placid, N.Y. (pop. 2,700), U.S.A...
