The other side

There was more to the 1972 Munich Olympics than just sports. Charles Dobbs, ISU professor of history gave an idea of what the political tensions were like. — Berlin had hosted the games in 1936, and German dictator Adolph Hitler wanted the games to serve as a kind of coming out party for the new Germany. -— The Cold War was going strong. The Soviets had replaced Nikita Khrushchev in October 1964 largely because he had backed down before John F. Kennedy in the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. — The Palestinian Liberation Organization planned to take advantage of lax security to seize hostages among Israeli athletes, force the West German government to give them a plane in order to fly to a secure location to barter these athletes for hundreds of Palestinian Photos courtesy of Tom Hill terrorists held in Israeli jails.

Many bridal boutiques hold periodic or semiannual sales to sell sample gowns at a dis- counted price. Representative of the latest season’s fashions, these gowns haven’t left the store but have rather just been tried on by clients or displayed on mannequins or in adver- tisements. If you’re not the sample size, costs are associ- ated with alterations but often outweigh the designer price tag and ensure a custom fit.

Get it early

Gartin recommends shopping early for the dream dress. It often takes four to six months for gowns to be ordered and altered. Waiting until just a couple months, or even weeks, before your big day can result in added driv- ing, scrambling or expensive rush-delivery fees. Carter recommended having your dream dress ordered six to nine months in advance.
