Beijing Olympic organizers apologize for booklet

Beijing Olympic organizers apologize for booklet: "It also describes the physically disabled as having 'unusual personalities because of disfigurement' and says they 'can be stubborn and controlling.'

'For example, some physically disabled are isolated, unsocial and introspective; they usually do not volunteer to contact people,' the document says. 'Sometimes they are overly protective of themselves, especially when they are called 'crippled' or 'paralyzed.''"
