...like to thank Alice Park and the folks at TIME for the article on Dara Torres. As a 40-year-old father of three young ones, I have long taken pride in my training and strength. However, this past November I underwent neurosurgery to remove a tumor from my spinal cord. I now need a cane to walk and have lost dexterity in my right arm.

Last month, the head of security for the Olympic organizing committee announced that Beijing would set aside three parks specifically for citizens to publicly air their Olympic grievances. The rules require that those wishing to protest apply with the police five days in advance. In Ritan, retirees walked along the tree-shaded walks and young couples played with children on the grass.
