...spotlight has not been realized. The United States, European Union, and other national sports officials have unequivocally denied the possibility of a 2008 boycott, however. They and others rightly point out that the greatest burden of Olympic boycotts fall upon the shoulders not of the host country, but of guiltless athletes. For example, the American athletes who were barred from competing in the 1980 Moscow Games as a result of the U.S. boycott were asked, in then-Vice President Walter Mondale’s words, “to pay a price that couldn’t be repaid...
Next, Matory claims that Palestinians are "pay[ing] the price for the ghastly crime of the Germans." This is false, though the Palestinian leadership was pro-Nazi and worked with Hitler during the Holocaust.

It's an (almost) guiltless pleasure...
...truth, classical music is worth your attention, and some of the most engaging examples of this vital medium are right here in Boston. A bus ride and a few dollars can offer you a peek into an exciting new world, and finally give you a guiltless and properly cultured response to the question, “So, do you ever go into Boston...
