Officials at both schools, planning logistics for subsequent Games, should begin with efforts to change the powerful mindset of the crowd. Announcements every quarter of the danger of pulling down posts could be followed by some combination of beefed-up security or changes in goalpost construction.

Like thousands of other overwrought Americans, Ciment got professional help in learning to reduce and manage the stress in his life. At the California Institute for Behavorial Medicine in Beverly Hills, he underwent psychological counseling to change his Type A mindset, began an exercise program and learned to modify his diet. Programs like the one he attended have been booming in recent years. By one estimate, there are now more than 300 stress-management enterprises offering their services to hospitals, clinics and even corporations around the country, up from 120 last September. "Stress management has become a multimillion-dollar...
