...Several other media figures have been arrested in the past week. On Thursday, Davison Maruziva, editor of the independent weekly The Standard was arrested at his newspaper's Harare office after publishing an opinion piece by M.D.C. figure Arthur Mutambara. A Zimbabwean photographer for Reuters, Howard Burditt, was also detained for three days and released on bail.

"It seems like such an obvious answer to me," says Miranda. "Being part of the conversation doesn't cost a whole lot." Olympic athletes do have some spare time for a little reading, you know. "All young individuals should be aware of the situation, the circumstances in which they are becoming involved in," says John Carlos, the 1968 Olympic bronze-medalist whose Black Power salute...
