President Reagan assists in lighting the Olympic flame at the White House as games preparations go on without Russia participating. Flown to the United States from Greece on a government jet, the Olympia flame burned bravely in rainy Manhattan and thence to Washington, D. c. as it continued its 9,000 mile journey to Los Angeles. Citizens from all walks of life and varying abilities vied to carry the flame of freedom that evoked much emotionalism and patriotic ferver across the United States. May 4, 1984. |
