It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t think the Swifties are right. In the end, I just think it&#8217;s an unwinnable argument. To put it in a context many of us have been watching of late, the medals controversy is not like the 100-meter butterfly where there is (usually) one discernible winner. It is like the 10-meter dive where there are too many judges handing out conflicting and biased 6.7s, 7.2s, etc. (at least the East Germans are gone!).]]>Sat, 21 Aug 2004 07:16:18 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
