...launched the Administration's first school-desegregation suit, charging that Alabama has maintained a system of racial discrimination at its public colleges and universities. In blunt language, the suit filed in U.S. District Court in Birmingham alleged that Governor George Wallace and state education officials "perpetuate an unlawful dual system of higher education based on race."

And with these titles, a list of individual accomplishments you could stretch from Cambridge to New Haven...
Next, he is eyeing a quadruple crown. After all, Jesse Owens took four firsts in Berlin. At the U.S.-East Germany dual meet in Los Angeles last Saturday, Lewis ran the anchor leg in the winning 4x100 meter relay. It was a promising start toward a fourth gold medal and still another reason why some call him the world's greatest athlete. "It's something I cherish," he says of the accolade. "I've worked hard for it. I mean, nothing was just given...
