...dream a carefully engineered catalog of guilt and fashionably crazy images: the ceiling-crawling dead baby (an unpardonable motor mockup) of an addict friend, check; a game show about HIV (a risk with syringes, we mustn't forget), check; and a voracious bed that swallows him up, check. To repeat--and oh, but the movie does--a techno beat pounds on throughout the scene, making Renton's screaming seem that of a hard rock star rather than an addict in withdrawal.

But most eyes in Atlanta will be upon the Americans: Gary Hall Jr., son of three-time Olympic medalist Gary Sr., in the 50-m free; Tom Dolan in the 400-m free and 400-m individual medley relay; and Tripp Schwenk in the 100- and 200-m backstroke...
