'Racialists' are cheered by Trump's latest strategy
OAKTON, Va. — Jared Taylor hits play, and the first Donald Trump ad of the general election unfolds across his breakfast table. Syrian refugees streaming across a border. Hordes of immigrants, crowded onto trains. “Donald Trump’s America is secure,” rumbles a narrator. “Terrorists and dangerous criminals kept out. The border, secure; our families, safe.” Taylor, one of America’s foremost “racialists,” is impressed and relieved. “That’s a powerful appeal,” he said. “If he can just stick to that..>> view originalOlympians struggle to adjust to life beyond the rings.
RIO DE JANEIRO — The morning after her 2008 Olympics ended, gymnast Shawn Johnson awoke with one gold medal, three silvers and no idea what to eat for breakfast. She had no idea when to go to bed, either. In the weeks that followed, Johnson felt lost each day at 4 p.m., when practice had always begun.

Four American women ran four laps as a team, which meant one portion of the night would provide predictability. The rest of it? Well, hardly anybody knew how to interpret the events — or in some cases even what had happened in the first place.
