...that King Fahd of Saudi Arabia provided over €1 million to fund the construction, the total cost of which was estimated at €2.3 million. The three-story, redbrick mosque has prayer halls to accommodate around 1,500 men, a warren of offices, a shop and, in the basement, a smaller prayer hall with room for 100 women.

His older brother Bill, an architect, contributed the macho name Under Armour, and an artist friend designed a sleekly minimalist logo. Working out of the basement of a house in Georgetown he'd inherited from his grandmother, Plank engaged a New York City garmentmaker to produce 500 T shirts that he called Heat Gear. He tossed them into the trunk of his car and drove to colleges in the East and the South. He made...
