[Between the Lines]

A Pan Ams volunteer said the CD with the Star Spangled Banner had been burned and the equipment at the venue could not read the CD.

File sharing is new to the Dominican Republic I guess.

Just the usual passive agressive anti-americansm. The Carnival Hotel in Athens has a line of international flags outside its front marque. Odly it was only the American flag that was faded and hanging by bottom of its two loops. The top loop having been torn or just not connected. It was hanging like a dirty red, white and blue dish rag blowing in the wind. The other flags were new, clean and properly hung. We took our US dollars elsewhere.

The CD was not burned, some small idiot was being an *ssh*le and the pan am games managment was allowing it.
