OLYMPIC NOTES

          In Chicago, Philip Hersh writes on the legacy of IOC
     President Juan Antonio Samaranch under the header,
     "Samaranch's Legacy: Too Many Sports, Too Many Medals, Too
     Little Control."  Hersh: "It is gigantism that may represent
     the greatest failure of Juan Antonio Samaranch's 19 years as
     IOC president. ... The effects of the scandal will pass, but
     the effects of Samaranch's failure to restrain Olympic
     growth will haunt the Games" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 5/20)....IOC
     VP Dick Pound, speaking at the Canadian Club of Vancouver,
     on the Olympic Games: "Notwithstanding what you might
     conclude if you only read the media, people really want this
     Olympic movement to work.  It is good and has values, no
     question about it."  On establishing a code of conduct: "The
     problem before was that nobody cared about the IOC, until we
     got some money.  Now, there's interest in the public and we
     have to accommodate that interest" (GLOBE & MAIL, 5/20).
