Abstract
In early fall 1986 I received a surprising call from Ms. Bailey Barash, an anchorwoman at CNN, whom I saw daily on my TV screen. A CNN news team was to come to Colorado Springs and cover an important international gathering at the Broadmoor Hotel. A CNN education crew wanted to come along and cover the Olympiad, if it were to be “served” in November. I did not feel we could make such a move, even for CNN. On CNN’s request, I reminded them in March about their interest in covering the Olympiad, but, of course, without a major political event in the neighborhood they were interested in the Olympiad, but not too interested.
