“The Olympic Stadium—a severe Greco-Roman construction with Fascist flourishes and corporate logos—was built for the 1936 Games and still looks very much as it did seventy years ago, when Jesse Owens outran the racial theories of his host.”
—from David Remnick’s profile of Bill Clinton in this week’s New Yorker.





Your own prose is at least as nice.
Could you use some to give a visual, or other, description of of "Fascist flourishes" — ?
Do they take a lot of grace?
