To The Editor:
Hooray for Alessandra Stanley! Finally, finally, American television coverage of the Olympics is taken to the wood shed fir its shameless, interminable, childish championing of and for the successes of American athletes.
What is all that about, anyhow? Isn't it just more of this "We're No.1" malarkey? Or could it be the reverse--a malignent inferioroty complex? It's way past time for the networks, and for all we Americans, to grow up. The Olympics are held to showcase the performances of the best athletes in the world, as they compete with one another; the Olympics are not held for the benefit of nations--no matter how anxious any one of them might be to exhibit its unadorned conceit.
Sincerely,
Bernie Hargadon
