Goldwater slams U.S. on Taiwan Olympic stance
Senator Barry Goldwater accuses the United States Olympic Committee of failing to boycott the Games over Taiwan. He calls the move politically wrong and says the U.S. should have refused participation if Canada discriminated against Taiwan. He says the Games should be nonpartisan and would rather see no Games than exclude any country for political beliefs.
