But if you want to bring me his head on a platter, please feel free.\u201d (She didn\u2019t really say that last part.)

Not for me\u2014how about Mark Spitz, how about the great swimmers of all time who are in the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Do they deserve to have their Olympic medals and their United States uniforms, under glass, right down the corridor from Jack Nelson? He\u2019s a pedophile. And now he\u2019s deceased.
