For a thousand years, this mystical Asian city was surrounded by a wall to keep out
foreigners.
Today, the wall is gone, and the world is welcome to Seoul and the 1988 Summer Olympics.
But if you go, bring plenty of time and your Visa card, because the Olympics don't take
place every year.
And this year, the Olympics don't take American Express.
Visa.
It's everywhere you want to be.
I started at an early age.
Mom introduced me to it.
She could tell I really enjoyed it, so I stuck with it over the years.
And I'm still at it today.
I guess it just makes me feel good inside.
Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup has always been a part of Olympic medalist Debbie Thomas's
life, and since it's low in fat and cholesterol, it's part of her training diet now.
At the bottom of it all, soup is good food.
Who gives America the most aerodynamic sedan built on this continent?
Who else?
At Cheap Eagle, we do it right.
Now, everywhere in the world you can dial direct.
You can dial direct with MCI.
Everywhere.
Waka?
Until you call, you'll never know how much better a long-distance company can be.
Brothers?
Yes, we are brothers.
But in the most uncommon of ways.
Because being a brother to a fellow American isn't easy.
We're too different, too individualistic, or just too ornery for that.
Until the time comes that we need brotherhood.
In ceremony, in tragedy, in victory, then we're the best of brothers.
That's the nature of freedom, and what better time to celebrate that.
Sir.
What?
Would you choose hamburger A, a Wendy's hamburger that's made fresh, or B, a pre-made hamburger
that's been sitting around?
I'll take A. Really?
No, no, B. I said B. No, you didn't, sir.
Most people prefer fresh hamburgers like Wendy's, the best burgers in the business.
From everyone who brings you the best burgers in the business, congratulations to the best
athletes in the business.
All of us at Wendy's are proud to have helped ABC present the 1988 Winter Olympics.
Every day, several new friends arrive in the Warehouser forest.
They'll spend their life here.
And every day, during planting season, Warehouser plants 400,000 new trees, so our friends won't
have too far to wander from home.
And so we'll have enough wood and wood fiber for all the products we need today and tomorrow.
Warehouser, the tree-growing company, and more.
The Washington Journalism Review calls ABC News the best in the business.
For the first time, one television network has swept every category.
Peter Jennings, best anchor.
Sam Donaldson, best correspondent.
Nightline with Ted Koppel, best network news program.
No wonder more Americans get their news from ABC News.
You can find it in a quiet moment or in a child's laughter.
And now, you can find it in a health plan.
Preferred gold.
From Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
You are watching KSTP, your Olympic station.
If you had all the experience of yesterday, with all the skill and innovation of today,
you couldn't lose.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
Carry the carrying card.
No way.
No, no, no.
Put that back.
This is hot.
I didn't know they had this.
I should have got this here.
I told you that.
Susan, I don't know why you keep dragging me all over town.
They get everything here.
So, look at this.
Valerie.
Susan.
I said no.
At this price, you could buy all four, huh?
Thanks, Mom.
Kmart, the saving place and more.
Dear Dad, we made our toughest jump yet at dawn.
I was kind of nervous, we all were.
And then I remembered when you told me that real courage is putting your fear aside and
doing your job.
You see, Dad, here in the Army, the things I'm learning will help me get the most out
of life and the best for myself.
Dad, we were really something today.
I know you'd be proud.
Who would you say makes the best personal computers for business?
The brand being added by the most major corporations?
The one rated highest in performance by computer experts?
The one that won the most industry awards?
Or the one that's grown the fastest?
Hard call, right?
Not really.
In each case, the answer is compact.
It simply works better.
Jeep designed Cherokee to give you more than any other vehicle of its kind, like a choice
of two or four doors and room for five adults.
And now you can get Cherokee with an optional four-liter, six-cylinder engine that has more
power, a lot more power than anything in its class.
All of this is precisely why Four Wheel and Off-Road Magazine named Jeep Cherokee four
by four of the year for the second time.
Save up to $1,800 on selected Jeep vehicles, America's winners.
Wouldn't it be nice to be going home for a change?
We asked for it.
Why do you think Mr. Merrill's pushing this new training program?
Welcome back, soldier.
Well, the war's over.
The country's gonna grow.
And we gotta have the best trained people to help folks take advantage of it.
Charlie Merrill said find the brightest people and train them well.
It's a lesson Merrill Lynch has never forgotten.
Merrill Lynch, a tradition of trust.
Olympic spirit.
It means pushing your own limits till you're good enough for the nation and good enough
for yourself.
To honor persistence in the face of impossible odds, this is a salute to the Calgary winner
of the Olympic Spirit Award from Maxwell House.
Coffee that's good.
Good to the last drop.
Phillips, we light the Olympics for all the world.
We light the Olympics for all the world to see.
