President Richard Nixon said today in 1969 (of the moon landing) 'This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the creation ... oh, except the week in which Christ was born. And the one that saw the birth of Mohammed and that Buddha guy. Not to mention sliced bread, the wheel and salt and vinegar potato chips.' But we got the general gist.

Pierre de Coubertin, called by some the father of the modern Olympics, said today in 1908, 'The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but boasting to the world that your country can host them and then discovering your security is run by the WI and the St John's Ambulance Brigade.'
Prophetic words.
