On Tuesday, ACOG unveiled details of the Olympic Village and
Int'l Festival Area, a 250-acre complex calling it "a cross
between summer camp and Disneyland without the rides."  When the
Games begin, athletes, coaches and officials will take up
residence in the village carved out of Georgia Tech. "What
Atlanta's village may lack in the postcard scenery of Barcelona's
1992 seaside compound, it will try to compensate for in sheer
size, entertainment value and air conditioning."  The village
will offer an array of services, including a bowling alley, gift
shop, billiards, post office, foreign exchange bank, video
arcade, hair stylist, shopping mall and several McDonalds (Lyle
Harris, ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 12/7).

     With the announcement from IOC President Juan Antonio
Samaranch that he will not seek re-election in '97, there is
speculation in Montreal that IOC VP Dick Pound will be "one of
the likelier" candidates.  Pound has been "quietly" assisting
Quebec City's efforts to host the 2002 Winter Games and called
Quebec "very much" in the running: "You've got poor old Salt Lake
City out there, this is their eighth year as a candidate.  They
have no more rabbits to pull out of the hat.  After two Winter
Games in Europe, it might be North America's turn" (Jack Todd,
MONTREAL GAZETTE, 12/7).
