The newspapers loved pinup pictures of pretty young swimmers and as a national champion I got more than my share of space in the sports pages.

I've traveled around the country and I read local newspapers and all of that and it's a sad sad thing to go from city to city and see the small newspapers and they're tiny. They're tiny not only in size but also in scope.

I want you to know that despite what you might read at times in the newspapers or see on the television news we have actually been getting a lot of things done the last several months the U.S.-Canada relationship.
