Wolper who produced the opening and (I believe) closing ceremonies. Leave it to a top TV producer to create the greatest Olympics opening and closing ceremonies the world has ever seen. If you doubt that, get a copy of the ceremonies and see for yourself. You'll be convinced. I'm so proud of my city for this accomplishment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067993726290537220.post-55734998301472012922012-07-24T16:13:59.782-07:002012-07-24T16:13:59.782-07:00Good post.

The US Olympic Committee choose Los Angeles, rather than New York, as the one "candidate" city from the US in 1978. But, yes, in 1978 - NO other city in the world was willing to host the Olympics. When the International Olympic Organizing Committee met in May of 1978, they didn't even vote. They just awarded the Games to Los Angeles. So, in that sense, L.A. really did save the Olympics - and now every city in the world wants to host them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
