Putin and the three Russian figure skaters? Are they one and the same? Do they belong to a same category? No, of course not. Putin is in a [low] class all by himself. But there is something in these Russians that we, too, share. Certainly, Roger Clemens, Barry Bond, Vince Lombardy, and Tom Brady share it. What is it? Well, this “it” was poignantly described in a song in the 1960s sung by a sultry singer named Peggy Lee. And today, because of these Russians, we get to examine our own lives whether we are still chasing after the wind.
