Los Angeles lost its bid to host the Olympic Games. Chicago was picked to represent the United States in the international bidding. Too bad for us, but hopefully Chicago can make a go of it.
Peter Ueberroth, the chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee (and former media heavyweight in this neck of the woods), made an interesting comment about the quality of leadership in both cities:
"It was a very tough decision. If I had all the power — and sometimes people accuse me of that — I would take the map and merge the two cities, because I'll tell you what: If you could take the mayors of these two communities and have them run our country, we would all be better off."
