picked this up in a junk market just cos I was involved in the 2012 Olympics ceremonies. . Its actually a surprisingly interesting story of a made in America squeaky clean Republican hero who nonetheless fights really hard for peace with Russia and struggles to stop a Soviet boycott. It is also interesting as the "first capitalist games" which the subsequent property scam gravy train games have grown from. Quite an interesting document of its time.
