The Ice Follies

A member of the US Olympic team was trapped in his bathroom in Sochi. There have been news stories that the tap water there is not potable. There are reliable reports that surveillance cameras have even been placed in the showers. I had hopes that Russia would have been more efficient, but the only area that is really consequential is safety, and so far Russian authorities have kept the Games and spectators safe. Let us hope Putin's monumental counter-terror effort is a glowing success.
