The Agony of Defeat

I'm reading the live-blogging at NY Times of Mahmoud's speech at Columbia. This stopped me dead:

"After a short delay, the event has just begun. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, took his seat in the Roone Arledge auditorium. "

Roone Arledge? The guy who produced Wide World of Sports? Great. Instead of thinking about Iran, America and the state of our world, I've got the image of that poor ski jumper stuck in my head.
