BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008
BEIJING–With the opening of the Beijing Olympics less than two weeks away, preparations are now in their final stages. The city is festooned with Games logos and decorations, and the Olympic village opens its doors Sunday.
However, Beijing has so far failed to reduce air pollution, a major concern for Olympians. Despite strict traffic restrictions launched Sunday and other antipollution measures, smog levels have not fallen over the past few days as much as city authorities had hoped.
