Money for medals, tension in Pakistan and waiting for a text from Obama

Unlike some people, we don't want to leave you hanging.
Here is the latest episode of The Week delivered on time, as promised. We ask a former Olympic swimmer about the days before athletes got paid. We get a diplomat's perspective on the conflict in Georgia. We find out how people in Pakistan are doing after their president stepped down. And we wait . . . and wait . . . and wait for a sign from Obama on his vice presidential pick. Anyday now, Barack, anyday.
