Spielberg may resign as Olympic adviser
Beijing's Olympic organizing committee said Wednesday it didn't know Hollywood director Steven Spielberg might be planning to resign as an artistic adviser to the 2008 Games.

Last week, ABC News and other U.S. media cited the director's spokesman Andy Spahn as saying Spielberg was considering dropping out of the Olympics because of China's inaction during the crisis.
