But I can't help but adding that, if you paid any attention to what was going on, you found out that ABC also provided about 1500 hours of uncommented coverage of almost everything that happened during the Olympics to all the competing countries to do with as they wished. It's quite possible that on Ivory Coast television not a single American appeared for the entire two weeks. Sure ABC's coverage was disgusting sometimes (did you hear Cathy Rigby?), but overall I think they did a superlative job of what is undoubtably a very difficult undertaking. -- Abe Ellenberg cca!ima!abe
