I WONDER IF THERE WILL BE FIREWORKS: If the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics are generally about Our Country Is Awesome (and in this case, And You Should Be Afraid), Closing Ceremonies are typically centered around two notions: (a) when people come together through sport, good things happen; and (b) hey! wait'll you see who's hosting in four years! The Sydney 2000 Closing Ceremonies ...
