RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Sidney Levy placed his thumb and forefinger about an inch apart to illustrate the size of a book he'd just been reading.
This wasn't a read for pleasure. Levy, the chief executive officer of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, doesn't have time for that.
His daily page-turner is known around Rio's headquarters as the "Issue Tracker," a compendium showing which programs are on track, and which aren't, for South America's first games in just 15 1/2 months.
"There are a lot of moving parts," said Levy, an experienced Brazilian businessman and engineer.
