In this 1945 file photo, an Allied war correspondent stands in the ruins of Hiroshima, Japan, just weeks after the city was leveled by an atomic bomb. Many residents of Hiroshima welcome attention to their city from abroad, which IOC President Thomas Bach will bring when he visits on Friday, July 16. But Bach will also bring political baggage — as will his vice president John Coates when he visits Nagasaki the same day — that is largely unwelcome in two cities viewed as sacred by many Japanese.
