That issue? Yes, guessed it: the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan affair, which the mass media has so lovingly dubbed" wounded Knee II."
The United State Olympic Committee considered excluding Harding from Olympic competition because of the questions over her role in the Jan. 6 attack on Kerrigan.
Then Harding filed a $25 million lawsuit against the U.S.O.C. The Committee took fright--and caved in.
Under the settlement adopted last weekend, Harding dropped her lawsuit and the U.S.O.C. agreed to allow her to skate in the Olympics next week. The Committee also canceled an administrative hearing which had been called for the purpose of questioning Harding about the attack.
Now that Harding's place on the Olympic roster is assured, and CBS executives start fantasizing over the ratings, a new question arises: Who will win the gold medal?
