What is Andy Young doing in Saint Paul?

Former mayors of both of the twin cities warmly welcomed the group. But something stuck in the craw of former St. Paul Mayor George Latimer.

He asked how many in the room were involved in Atlanta's quest for the 1996 Olympics.

Lots of hands went up.

He reminded us it was Atlanta versus the Twin Cities at one point. He couldn't remember where it was -- some nameless meeting of the Olympic Organizing Committee -- where he brought along the governor, lots of regional Minnesota mayors, their best polish and promise.

All Atlanta offered was Andrew Young, Mayor Latimer recalled.

He paused.

Then, he laughed, and the whole room did, too -- remembering the outcome.

"When you see Andy back in Atlanta, tell him for me . . . I've neither forgotten, nor forgiven!"
