  5. The narrowness of the Olympic ideal

    Looking ahead to the Olympics this month, Adam Gopnik cleverly writes in The New Yorker that "Americans become passionate about athletes we have never heard of participating in games we do not follow trying to please judges we cannot see according to rules we do not know." Mr. Gopnik sees this fascination bred by nationalism. But within American culture, we should also be attuned to the narratives of individual excellence that dominate coverage of the Olympics. These narratives extol the virtue of single-minded dedication to specialization and narrowly defined excellence.

  10. Sometimes, you almost want to feel sorry for Mitt Romney

    I am starting to feel sorry for Mitt Romney. On an international tour to three countries, he made news in two of them by dissing the London Olympics and infuriating the Palestinians. The poor guy -- for months, people have complained that he never says what he really believes. Now, he's in trouble for too boldly saying what he actually thinks.

  12. Celebrating Heroes Triathlon puts focus on athletes with physical disabilities

    The moving truck pulls around the loop next to the boat ramp of Centennial Lake, backing up to the water while trying to avoid wheelchairs and bikes. Eight men clamber out of the vehicle and quickly begin to set up metal barriers, tents and ramps underneath the sticky, June sun. They turn the grass in front of the water from an ordinary spot in a park into a large stage in less than an hour, a finish line looking down on the stage from about a hundred yards away.
