I’ve got better conditions here. I wonder if I could submit a bid and just get some publicity for it?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cushing was a Harvard-educated lawyer with many rich and powerful friends. He hurriedly put together a proposal, got financial backing from the California state Legislature, and traveled to New York to pitch the U.S. Olympic Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And much to the surprise of everybody, the U.S. Olympic Committee decided to nominate Squaw Valley to host the 1960 Winter Olympics,” Antonucci said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11904462\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 755px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11904462\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53560_Opening-2-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"755\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53560_Opening-2-qut.jpg 755w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53560_Opening-2-qut-160x163.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of the opening ceremonies at the 1960 Olympics. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Bill Briner)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Cushing still had to go to Paris and convince the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that Tahoe should host the Games. Even though by this point he had the support of both the state of California and the U.S. federal government, his chances of winning looked pretty slim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s being told, ‘Forget it. You’ve got no chance. You’re just wasting your time,'” said Antonucci. “People in the Olympic orbit said, ‘Innsbruck, Austria, has it tied up.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cushing and his team didn’t give up. They started working their contacts around the globe. The lobbying effort included the then-unorthodox step of printing their proposal in Spanish — not just the official Olympic languages of English and French.

I’ve got better conditions here. I wonder if I could submit a bid and just get some publicity for it?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cushing was a Harvard-educated lawyer with many rich and powerful friends.
