By 16, Lewis had old headlines pasted up on his bedroom wall, amended with his own name: CARL LEWIS, KING OF THE 27-FT. JUMPERS. From the age of two, he had grown up in Willingboro, where his parents had moved to avoid desegregation troubles in Birmingham and to pursue graduate studies and teaching jobs. Young Carl and Carol were the only ones with...

Apartment complexes, looking like college dorm towns and housing 400 families or more, sprang up on once bare hillsides. Couples faced with paying $85,000 for a two-bedroom apartment in Jerusalem could buy the same home in the West Bank for as little as $55,000, complete with a government-subsidized mortgage. As a result, the number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank rose from 13,000 in 1977 to 28,000. If the trend continues...
