  1. Olympics -- Summer Olympics
    In the early 1930s, the bid to host the 1936 Summer Olympics was won by the rising German Reich, spearheaded of course by the personification of evil, Adolf Hitler. Though the location of the games at that time seemed relatively harmless, the grandeur of the spectacle legitimated, in many previously contesting eyes, Hitler's reign over the motherland and the positive effects that he was having on the nation previously overrun by depression.
  2. Olympics -- Winter Olympics
    The Olympic Games (often referred to simply as The Olympics or The Games[1]) is an international multi-sport event subdivided into summer and winter sporting events.

    The first "women's Olympic Games" was a one-day track meet in Paris in 1922. Eighteen athletes broke world records before 20,000 spectators. The second Games were held in Gothenberg, Sweden, four years later. Women from 10 nations, including distant Japan, took part. (Canada was not one of them). With a spectacular opening ceremony and marchpast, the patronage of the Swedish royal family, and several world records, the Games evoked comparisons with the IOC's Stockholm Olympics of 1912.

  7. Olympic National Park -- Olympic Peninsula
    The east side of Olympic National Park is the least visited side of the park. There are no wild beaches, no roads up into alpine meadows, and no rainforests. There are ... no crowds of tourists. However, there are many miles of rugged hiking trails that lead intrepid hikers to some of the best mountaintop viewpoints on the peninsula. There are also rushing rivers, state parks, and the wide salt waters of Hood Canal, which isn't a canal at all, but rather a natural body of water off Puget Sound. Long, narrow, and hook-shaped, Hood Canal has miles of pristine waterfront and has long been a popular spot for summer homes.
