In the midst of so much discord and dysfunction, take a moment, post-midterm elections, to recognize lawmakers who have fought for Olympic champions when no one in the USOC cared about those ephemeral creatures apart from their appearances every four years on medal podiums. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are slowly but surely cracking down on the culture of complicit silence that enabled so many beautiful kids to be used and violated. Curse the tedium and venality of your public servants if you want, but Congressional hearings literally led to an arrest in an alleged criminal coverup. You don't often see those kinds of results from Capitol Hill.
