The swastika has become a trite symbol of evil; foot soldiers in dramas tend to goose-step. Things are going a little too far, though, when synchronized swimming--also known as water ballet--fixes on death camps as a motif for aquatic drama. Such was the case with the French Olympic team, which, in preparing its effort for Atlanta this summer, crafted a routine featuring swimmers...
