The author argues the XXI Olympiad exposed persistent nationalism and biased coverage. They contrast harsh US media framing with athletes’ perseverance, noting Bruce Jenner’s world decathlon record and six American boxing finalists, while railroading the idea of a universal Olympic ideal. The piece lauds athletes’ dedication and views Olympic sport as a quiet triumph regardless of medal results.

He claims a state court used a vague constitutional phrase about thorough and efficient schools to mandate unequal per pupil spending, seizing revenue and spending powers from the legislature. The piece situates this case within a national trend of seeking judicial decrees over political persuasion.
