...Italian might, of course, be able to find one in Utah, not to mention a license to use it. But not during the Games, when different rules are applicable, so lets send him home soonest. Meantime, watch him closely. And if you're a fan of true sportsmen, watch Ohno, too. He'll be back in the 5,000-meter relay on Saturday. For a final victory lap, we hope and presume...

...those of you who, like my seminar advisee, are having difficulty concentrating: much of your adult life will be a struggle to stay centered on the things most important to you in the face of a million distracting pressures. With so many options—not to mention neuroses—surrounding us, it can be difficult to focus on anything at all. These days I find myself skipping to the end of three-panel comic strips to see how they come out. But with a thesis staring you in the face, you have to go cold turkey...
