    • Abstract:
      This article focuses on the financial crises faced by California in organizing Winter Olympic games, 1960. California brought much of its problem on itself. The state wanted Olympic games financed in the style to which it has been accustomed. That's just what California is getting, and it's too late to climb out of the $8 million hole it so avidly began digging six years ago at Squaw Valley in the High Sierras. Californians are holding their breath, slow ticket sales being just one of several worries which prompted Games officials to request a $1 million "emergency fund" recently.
