...That was enough to get a green light from Guariniello. So Agovino ordered 20 Carabinieri agents, including two linked to a special Health Ministry squad, to carry out a rapid-fire sweep of five residences where Austrians were staying in Pragelato Plan and Cesana San Sicario, the two hamlets hosting the cross-country and biathlon events.

As writer and producer as well as The Continental's only actor, 39 year-old Cesana insists he plays his part with a tongue-in-cheek seriousness, hopes only "to furnish the ladies with the illusion of an escapade while they remain in the sanctity and safety of their own homes." j Of the ladies' husbands, he says handsomely: "American men have such a wonderful sense...
