...Chinese were obsessed with medals. At the Closing Ceremony, as the athletes flowed into the stadium, the medalists were ushered in first. It was a situation at odds with the egalitarian, celebratory mood but very much in line with a results-obsessed nation whose mission was to impress and, by impressing, to dominate. The athletes, unused to being distinguished from their teammates, appeared to be flummoxed, unsure of how to occupy the vast amount of space in the center of the Bird's Nest.

Religious leaders from Bahrain to the West Bank have condemned Noor for being "replete with wickedness, evil and moral collapse," in the words of Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti.

The candidates and their aides have only a dim grasp of how the endgame will unfold, though some maintain a healthy...
...female athletes (just ask the reigning Ivy League women’s basketball champions or the women’s hockey team, which is headed to the Eastern College Athletic Conference semifinals this weekend). Although not without its critics, Title IX was an overwhelmingly positive step toward a more egalitarian and exciting athletic landscape. Orleans was particularly well-known for placing an utmost priority on cultivating the “student” in student-athletes. He staunchly supported a restriction upon Ivy League football teams that prevents them from competing in post-season playoffs. For Orleans, the Ivy League...
