...Cram wanted to be. "If you can't run well at Bislett, you're not running well anywhere," Cram said to reporters. "You know you're going to run fast whenever you come here." And he added later, "The atmosphere is electric ... it lifts you up." Most world-class runners agree. In the long Norse summer evenings, the air at Bislett is still and cool, so that neither wind nor heat oppresses the competitors. And the frequent rain showers leave a quickening aura of freshness, almost as if there were more oxygen to be gulped down to infuse the muscles...
...possible." Niekro lacks six victories for 300. The wise Chicago White Sox pitcher Tom Seaver, 40, got there last week. He has lost only the least of his gifts, velocity. Discussing Rose, he says, "Pitchers don't have to run, remember. Not that Pete was ever a very fast runner, just a very smart one.

...frequent mood of misery was absent last week, and so it may not be a complete coincidence that baseball's strike was short-lived. Over an amazing prestrike weekend, baseball's Rod Carew, Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden, football's Joe Namath, O.J.

But another woman in his life has long been more important. After the death of his Jewish father Kim Wehistein, Kasparov took the maiden name of his Armenian mother Clara; she has ruled his career ever since. At the championships she sat motionless each day in the same third-row seat, watching intensely. Though...
Bulls by nature are sprinters who tire quickly. But the breed on Wall Street is displaying the endurance of a marathon runner. The stock-market rally that began more than three years ago is as robust as ever. The stampede, spurred at first by a sharp drop in interest rates, started on Friday, Aug. 13, 1982, with a twelve-point rise in the closely watched Dow Jones industrial average, to 788. The runaway Dow took only six months to close above the 1100 mark for the first time ever and just two more to break 1200. Though the market slowed...
