...campaign, Turner has dismissed his manager and hired Keith Davey, who engineered Trudeau's last two re-election victories. Shedding blazer, tie and but-toned-down image, the Prime Minister was photographed dancing with his wife to the rock sound of Doug and the Slugs at a Vancouver youth rally last week. But it was too soon to tell whether the new image would be enough to help Turner catch Mulroney. -By John Kohan...
...apparently unrelated incident last week, half a dozen Soviet policemen beat up an off-duty U.S. Marine attached to the American consulate in Leningrad. He was not seriously injured, but it was not the first such incident this year. In April, an unidentified youth attacked a U.S. consular officer on the street. Administration officials said last week that they were becoming annoyed at the "disturbing pattern of official involvement in a campaign to harass and isolate Americans in the Soviet Union...
...appealing collection of young American gymnasts, most stirringly Mary Lou Retton but also some wondrous men for a change, have given the Olympic Games what they wait for every four years?and sometimes eight?the gift of renewed youth.

Despite brilliant moments, the American team was just not as deep as the Rumanians; the fourth, fifth and sixth competitors could not lay the foundation as their male counterparts had. Michelle Dusserre and Pam Bileck, both 15, performed with the skittishness of youth, doing well in some events and faltering in others. It was left to Kathy Johnson, at 24 the admitted "old lady," to anchor the team. Hers was the steadying base on which the higher scores had to be built...
Spurred by the energy crunch, perhaps by the movie Breaking Away, the story of a youth intent on becoming a world-class racer, the country is developing a passion for pedaling. In 1983 the U.S. Cycling Federation issued 16,000 racing permits (9,000 in 1970); 10 million bikes will be shipped to stores for the country's 100 million riders. So it should have come as no surprise that 200,000 flag-waving aficionados gathered by the tile-roofed, half-a-million-dollar ranch homes in Mission Viejo, 50 miles south of Los Angeles...
