Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: An image of peace and prospertiy was what Germany wanted to project in staging the Munich Olympics-a festival that would obliterate memories of the Nazi Olympics of 1936. According to a U.S. scholar; the Games are an opportunity for the political use of festivity. Canada will profit from the Games as it did from Expo.
