Random Notes

More January Titles: Our Goal: A Chronicle of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team (Harper & Row, $13.95), by John Powers and Arthur C. Kaminsky, is the story of the assembling and training of the U.S. team that defeated the Russians at Lake Placid four years ago. It does nothing to make this quadrennial spectacle of international frivolity in particular or competitive sports in general more attractive. . . . For those who still admit an interest in the subject, there is a second book on the modern Olympics coming this season called The Games Must Go On: Avery Brundage and the Olympic Movement (Columbia, $19.95), by Allen Guttmann—the biography of the man who served twenty years on the International Olympic Committee and sought to have Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union included as participants in the games.

Doing Business with the Japanese (NAL, $13.50), by Mitchell F. Deutsch, formerly an employee of a Japanese company, explains how American businessmen may deal profitably, and to the satisfaction of both parties, with their Japanese counterparts.
