Eldredge's ill fortune made all the difference for Candeloro, who skated after him in Saturday's lineup to the theme from The Three Musketeers. Skating's flashiest showman, Candeloro, who was laid up with an ankle injury last year, played the swashbuckler with abandon, complete with pretend sword fights.

Youthful abandon continues to stretch boundaries, but any spirit of adventure has been replaced by sad desperation. Halfway through Dylan's unintentionally elegaic performance, my schoolgirl friends stopped drinking, smoking and fondling each other. They sat slumped in their chairs, staring blankly into the vacuous arena. Suddenly, one girl vomited onto...
