OLYMPIC NOTES

          In Salt Lake City, Mike Gorrell reported that the IOC
     has "decided to stick with its original plan" to hold a
     special session December 11-12 in Lausanne, Switzerland,
     "undeterred by vandalism at its museum" following its
     awarding the 2006 Winter Games to Italy.  The IOC Exec Board
     said that it "will be cheaper and easier logistically" than
     to meet in alternative locations (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE,
     8/22)....In Dallas, Cathy Harasta wrote that TX native Paul
     Winston "could end up being the unseen force" for Dallas'
     2012 Olympic bid.  Winston, who was Dir of Facilities
     Planning at the '96 Olympics, will work as a consultant for
     the new Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Sports Commission. 
     Harasta: "Any city with designs on the Olympics absolutely
     must have a Paul Winston on its team" (DMN, 8/21).
