...African boycotts of 1972 and 1976. (Many Americans sought to boycott the 1936 Olympics, but Brundage prevailed, explaining Nazi anti-Semitism as a "religious dispute.") If hard evidence of the political character of the Moscow Games were needed, there are plenty of Soviet statements to draw on. The bestselling Handbook of Party Activists maintains that the decision to give the Games to Moscow "was convincing testimony to the general recognition of the historic importance and correctness of the foreign policy course of our country, of the enormous service of the Soviet Union in the struggle for peace...

The handbook suggestions for tactics sound vaguely menacing here too, however--hints for success ripping up pavement, driving spikes into the road, and parking old cars in the street to block traffic. "We should make every effort to be creative and effective, while minimizing the use of our bodies." Blocking roads with bodies would...
