Now that everyone is in this game, what did Alfredo Binda do in order to get famous enough to have his name on toe straps? And, how many have heard of Major Taylor? -- George Tomasevich, ihnp4!twitch!grt AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ

And, how many have heard > of Major Taylor? > -- > George Tomasevich, ihnp4!twitch!grt > AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ I've heard of Major Taylor, but then we have the Major Taylor Velodrome here in Indianapolis. By the way last month they held the National Sprint Championships here at the velo last month, Mark Gorski won the men's sprint and Connie Parsekevin won the women's sprint, however there was a little bit of a controversy. Connie felt that the women's competition would not be stiff enough for her to prepare for defending her World Championship title so she wanted to compete against the men. The USCF refused her request. I noticed just this week that she lost her world championship title. Any comments? Randy Blackwood inuxe!vector AT&T, Indianapolis, IN

Speaking of name-dropping, who knows where Beth Heiden is, or what she
is doing nowadays?
