Squaddies go silent

...no doubt because they are focused on curling.

NBC's coverage has improved, which might be a function of better events and simply showing more stuff. I still think they are wasting airtime on their partner networks by showing reruns of "Law & Order" instead of giving that time to Olympic events. The WSJ editorial page weighs in with some thoughts on the Games, nothing that we hadn't touched on previously. I am not conversant with the '56 Hungary-USSR water polo match except in the broadest terms - Bruce or Dan, do you know of any good accounts?

PS: Bruce, one of the writers at Power Line is a fan of Everton of the Brit Premier League - I sent him an e-mail to see if he was familiar with Euro Soccer Weekly. If he isn't, it might behoove you to send him a complimentary copy or two; the buzz, if he blogs on it, could be worth a few subscriptions.

PPS: Looks as if Phil Sheridan is dodging the gambling question on his forum.
