the long-awaited marriage of television royalty was witnessed by million of addicts in the union of Lucas Lorenzo and Laura; and the thrill of victory was captured on ice when “Old Glory” was draped over the blades of our American players celebrating an Olympic gold and a wounded sickle and hammer; and the red, white and green was held high in Rome and North End as the soccer world crowned its Latin conquerors; but the agony of defeat moaned in the hours of unresolved negotiations for the pig- skin and the rawhide as the empty echoes of fans reverberated in silent stadiums . . . . . . and through another door came a new beat- five new wave women, soul sisters of the Supremes, exploded onto the scene voicing the immortal words “our lips are sealed”; and thousands who gathered at the halfshell cheered “bravo” to Pavarotti’s operatic score and his Holly- wood debut; while back in Tinseltown, Eliot followed a trail of Reese’s pieces left by a strange little alien who just kept trying to phone home . . . . . . and in Washington another call was placed when Alexander phoned in his resignation; and the most trusted man in America uttered his final “and that’s the way it is” as he opened a window to a new universe ... . . . and windows had been opened . . . . . . and doors had been closed . . . with the deaths of Natalie Wood, Ingrid Bergman, William Holden, Artheur Fiedler, Jean-Paul Sartre, Princess Grace, John Belushi and Harry Chapin . . . but their memory will linger on, just as Henry will forever be seen On Golden Pond . . . . . . time capsules . . . . . . turn the pages, close the chapters . . . . . . doors open and doors close . . . but through time can we remember that . . . when the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window . . .
