The presentation, particularly the narration, is what make this feature so good. It doesn't slouch on substance, though. There are some very cool and surprising anecdotes (who knew the Nazi invented the torch relay?) that put the whole fracas over the Beijing Games in some contexts. Disclosure: I work for this publication.
