The real question is How could there not be even if in exist Only in somebody s head How could the Leaden of the olympics not be planning Tor one City or perhaps five cities where the games could go in a hurry next year these worldwide Leaden did not reach Power in business and the politics of sports without always having a wont possible scenario filed away in a desk drawer or worked out in secret or lucked away i their minds. The olympic Leaden watch and read about the South korean demonstrators demanding political changes and they know the 1988 summer games Are one of the biggest wedges both sides of the quarrel have. But the lop olympic officials Are taking Thelong View of he current crisis. Item the offices of the new York times tuesday. Sometimes you can gel  one of the most forthright officials to emerge from world Amateur sports in Many years Pound said he has Given no thought to a substitute site forthe 1988 summer games. I May sound optimistic and unwavering Hestad but my feeling is thai in the end things will Settle Down. Everybody in South Korea has such stake in in being a sensible country. Nobody wants to be responsible for screwing it up. I think you la see some kind of cultural Solidarity  As a Canadian who Speaks French and English and has worked hard at his Spanish Pound has risen faster in the olympic movement than a american official might have done. He has acc Sci to a world View at Well As information from his government in Ottawa and he insist it is not time to be talking about threats to the games. You re looking at the kind of convulsions we had in North America and France in 1968, that Japan had in the Early 70s," said Pound a lax lawyer who lives in Montreal. This is the kind of thing you have to go through. One just Hopes it does not get out  Pound s View thai South Korea is not Loo dancer Ous at the moment was echoed by Robert Holmick the president of the . Olympic committee Andone of iwo american Ioc members. If i were responsible for one swimming team right now we would Send them Here Holmick said in a Telephone interview from Seoul. But i Don t see the military caving in he added. The police Are in control and the demonstrations arc very focused. This is nol to say the situation is not serious if the government does t change  is quite serious the korean organizing oils have Lold Holmick that the protests prove they have a democracy that this does t affect the mood of the people toward the games he said. But i Don t necessarily agree Wilh that and Wesl Ern witnesses might not agree either. People Lell me there is More citizen sympathy All the Lime. As a . Citizen i hear this As a message for change. Some people in the . Business Community feel change will come before 1988." while waiting for any changes that might happen Holmick said As an Ioc member i say it s just not possible to plan to shift the games. You either go Forward or you cancel and that has never happened except in  nobody can openly talk about change Becala that might Only invite problems from one country or another but what would the Ioc do if South Korea appears unstable after next february s proposed new regime you d have to ask the question Pound  d have to say it appears you Are nol Strong enough. Let us know that the government of Korea can have a peaceful games in the meantime we must let the process Settle itself. We cannot hold a special session because thai would really be interfering in their do Neslie  some potential hosts including mayor torn Brad icy of los Angeles have sent none too Subtle re minders that their cities would be available. But there is some question whether even Peter Ueber Roth and his Murric band could organize the hotels and stadiums and unions and volunteers in a major Western City within a year. The one City in the world that could gear up for the games in Short order would be Moscow where officials could arbitrarily Seal off the City commandeer All hotel spaces and Mil All the apparatus into operation. Bui the 1988 games Are irrevocably locked into late september when Moscow might be a bit Loo cold and too dark. Pound said any consortium of emergency Siles would have to be spaced reasonably close together five in Northern Europe for example rather than Tokyo Moscow los Angeles Mexico cily and Athens for example. You re 15 months away come on Pound said adding that he had no idea when the fail Safe time was for slopping television cameras and sport equipment and Advance officials from being put on planes bound for Seoul three months might be reasonable time but it s a moving target. I m confident about  Pound and Juan Antonio Sam ranch president of the Ioc May have every reason to be confident about South Korea bul in is hard to believe they Donot think about their options even if they Don t talk about them.
