...Koreas marched under one flag. This two-week display of human endeavor and international accord succeeds because the values of the Games are ultimately more powerful than the divisive forces embodied by world wars, racism, or corrupt figure skating judges. Baron de Coubertin’s vision remains intact. During the last two weeks, the world was once again host to something thoroughly improbable: a gathering of approximately 2,700 athletes from six continents, demonstrating the best that our world has to offer in sportsmanship and sheer will.

...Italian architect who turned Paris' Gare d'Orsay into a stunning modern museum, has applied her magic to the 1960s-era Palavela skating rink. Preserving its sail-shaped outer structure, she introduced a new "building within a building" independent of the overlapping roof above. Yet the makeover has left intact Torino's graceful arcaded shopping streets, lively 19th century cafés and splendid squares: medal ceremonies will be held each night in the grand Piazza Castello against the backdrop of the imposing 350-year-old Palazzo Reale. Inside the cafés, visitors can indulge in Torino's sinful...
