...that with dreams come responsibilities. Offering an Olympic blessing to Adolf Hitler's Berlin in 1936 is a curse the International Olympic Committee has yet to shake off.

U.S. concern was hardly soothed when Mexican Foreign Secretary Bernardo Sepulveda Amor shrugged off the incident as ''only a police case.''
