Dear Editor, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was founded out of the need to use scientific principles to ensure the production of safe food.

At the 1972 Munich Olympics, Israeli athletes were taken hostage by Palestinian attackers and died during the rescue effort. In response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, 50 Western countries boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
