...weeds about when exactly that life started. McCain enjoys no such benefit of the doubt, and so he had to offer blunt reassurance. But his construction of human rights beginning "at the moment of conception," while theoretically clean, is a practical mess. It throws the entire weight of argument onto one side of the scale; a woman, whose womb and RNA are essential to the development of a fertilized egg, would be obliged to do nothing that could even inadvertently interfere with the progression from zygote to newborn.

And there was plenty of red, white and blue sprinkled throughout the arena. As the Chinese team ran onto the court, Brendan Kelly, a 13-year-old from Los Angeles, waved a Chinese flag, yet wore a Team USA shirt. Who was he rooting for? "China," he says. Why?
