Given all the protests on Vietnam, the sexual revolution, and the Nixon foibles, I was surprised by his position. I figured that Rice remained in the great Southern conservative tradition and would continue to treat gay men and lesbians as either invisible or with disdain.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.
