...when they succeed. While I don't feel entirely satisfied with the clever Solomonic compromise that settled the figure-skating issue (why not just chop the one gold medal in half?), I'm glad that the lofty figures behind the scenes finally acted. I'm tired of hung juries. I'm tired of not knowing whether Osama bin Laden is alive or dead. I'm tired of corporate balance sheets that don't balance...
...Franconia, N.H., Bode Miller, had bounced off his butt in the downhill portion and then messed up his first slalom run pretty good. With a single chance left, he found himself well and truly buried. Then he cranked the most sensational slalom run since Phil Mahre and Alberto Tomba hung 'em up, and wound up with silver.

Darkness hangs over Room 9 (Disasters) as the mushroom cloud of Atomic Bomb (1963) hung over the decade. In images adapted from anonymous news photos, rioters are attacked by police dogs. Women die in car wrecks or from poisoned tuna fish. The broken body of a suicide lies supine like Christ taken down from the cross. Twelve Electric Chairs (1964-5) are printed over bright...
