[USMA:51841] An Opportunity Lost

[csm]

With all this discussion about metric in the Olympics, it occurs to me 
that the USMA dropped the ball.  We should have contacted NBC well in 
advance to offer assistance and to see whether NBC might give little 
"metric tutorials" during the events.  What an opportunity to reach the 
American audience and demonstrate, live in action, how metric works 
better!  This could have done more for the metric movement than any other 
single thing, given the huge audience.  The solution, as always, is to 
educate.
