Olympic Infamy
On page A27 of this morning's New York Times is a table showing, among other Olympic tidbits, who it was that opened the games over the years. It's quite a list……..here are some samples:

1960 – Richard Nixon
1972 - Emperor Hirohito
1980 – Walter Mondale
2002 – George W. Bush
It seems to me that being asked to open the Winter Olympics offers one a fair chance at ultimately earning an unfortunate place in the history books.
