SUMMER GAMES SPOTLIGHT : BARCELONA ’92 OLYMPICS / DAY 15 : DRINKS ON SPAIN

It was with such understated style that the waiters at an upscale restaurant Saturday night let it be known that Spain had beaten Poland for the gold medal in soccer-- the sport in Spain.

There were yelps of joy, no hurrahs. The waiters opened bottles of cava, the Spanish bubbling wine, and without a word of explanation poured for all.
