And so in the Italian host city of Torino, the athletes of the world marched into a stadium originally erected by former Fascist leader Benito Mussolini to several ancient tunes, such as Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, KC & the Sunshine Band's I'm Your Boogie Man and the Village People's Y.M.C.A. Are these the Winter Olympic Games or a disco inferno? It does make some sense. For this is a country particularly proud of Infernos. Indeed, after the thump-thump-thumping came a reading from...
