I remember Richard Basehart ****TRYING**** to recite Pindar’s “Ode to Fire” at the close of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Peter Jennings—a nice Canadian guy, but he should stick to DeCaf—wouldn’t SHUT UP!!! at the ultimate moment of the Olympics while this subtle classic from the ancient world was being recited as the Olympic Flame was being extinguished.

After 30 years, it is time to let this go.
Peter Jennings has.
