...most in the academic art world seem resigned to The Colossus being an inferior work by a Goya imitator. Not just the initials buttress that judgment, but also the coarse depiction of the giant's musculature, the less-than-careful rendition of the surrounding landscape, and the unnatural way in which a soldier is falling from his galloping horse. Symmons still isn't convinced. "Goya did create a number of highly unorthodox works in maturity," she says, "and these works do not always correspond to the way some scholars like to regard him - as a more decorous and orthodox artist...
...even if they had never actually lived there, citing an atmosphere of intolerance toward Muslims.) Fears that the game would lead to unrest grew when some cars flying Turkish flags had their tires slashed. That did not dampen Turkish enthusiasm. As the game went on, the Turks, despite their inferior numbers, were outshouting their German brothers, at least on the streets of Berlin, chanting "Red and White, Red and White, Turkey! Turkey...

...brightest of these stars is Liu Xiang, a 110-m hurdler whose world-record-breaking sprints disprove the notion that Chinese bodies are somehow inferior to foreign ones in high-piston sporting events. (After winning a gold in Athens, Liu said his "victory has proved that athletes with yellow skin can run as fast as those with black and white skin.") When I met Liu shortly before Athens, I was struck by his individualism; unlike many Chinese Olympians who didn't choose their sporting careers, Liu actually liked hurdling. Although he did mumble some variation of the patriotic theme...
