SALT LAKE CITY IN 2002

     The IOC will whittle the list of nine candidates for the
2002 Winter Games down to four this week with Salt Lake City
"certain to make the cut."  Also likely: Ostersund, Sweden;
Quebec; and Sion, Switzerland.  However, Salt Lake organizers
seem to think they can win with their "offering of an urban
counterpoint to the quaint but remote settings of previous Winter
Games" (Jere Longman, N.Y. TIMES, 1/22).
