Los Angeles 1984, at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
The big stadium is filled up to capacity, the crowds are
excited.  President Reagan is going to deliver the opening
speech.  As he enters the stadium and reaches the podium,
followed by his aides, cheers come from the crowd. He stands in
front of the microphones, puts a copy of his speech on the desk,
looks up, smiles, clears his throat and says:

	"People of the United States!"

Big applause.

	"People of the whole world!"

Even bigger applause.
He glances quickly at his papers, and then says:

	"Oooh, ooh, oh!" and pauses.

No applause. People look at each other, wondering.

	"Oh! Oh!"

At this point, one of his aides, very worried, taps him on the
shoulder and says: "Mister President! That's the symbol of the
Olympic Games!"
