...that it might easily have blinded the good folk of Salt Lake to reality. Whether the disclosures will be enough to deprive Salt Lake of the Games or topple the autocratic--some say dictatorial--18-year regime of I.O.C. head Juan Antonio Samaranch is doubtful. But the investigations will reveal certain things: that the leaders of S.L.O.C. were not present-day saints, that Samaranch is either delusionary or hypocritical to a Clintonesque degree, and that the relationship between the Olympic movement and the U.S. involves good measures of fear and loathing--fear that the money will go away, loathing...
...historic sites in Africa tell of the medieval trading city Timbuktu (in what is now Mali) and the underground churches hewn from volcanic rock in Ethiopia's 12th century Christian empire Lalibela.

Such scenarios are not science-fiction. With the prestidigitation of gene-amplification, only a single drop of blood or a snippet of hair or a scraping of skin can reveal the full length of the human genome, including its myriad flaws. And the potential for abusing that information is already here, as a surprised Paul Billings found in surveys of testing abuses that he conducted. "I advertised for people who had had negative experiences with social agencies, insurers or employers after genetic diagnosis, and I was shocked by the response." The most common complaint was against hard-nosed health insurers...
