...past year, Johnson had been focusing on catching up to the favored O'Brien at the trials and beating him at the Olympics. "He trained like a maniac to beat Dan," says Johnson's coach, Terry Franson. Johnson's emotional response to O'Brien's inexplicable miss -- shock at first, and then a bear hug of support -- reflected Dave's conflicted feelings. On the one hand, O'Brien no longer stood between Johnson and the gold medal. On the other, the competition would somehow be diminished by his friendly rival's self- demolition...
...Missoula, Mont., where he grew up. Johnson and his friends seemed in training merely to become hoodlums. Johnson half- jokingly explains that his early running from police officers and wrestling with other boys kept him in shape. "He's still got a wild side, a sharp edge," says Franson. "He's a committed risk taker, which is just what you need when a competition comes down to the crunch." Although Johnson made a local all-star baseball team as a pitcher, he continued to put much more energy into such nighttime activities as breaking into the warehouse of a local...

"Christian hasn't taken the usual hammering through high school and college, and although he's 28, he has the football body of a 22-year-old," says his Azusa track mentor Terry Franson.

Others include Walt Disney Productions, whose movie business has been floundering, and United Cable Television, a Denver-based cable-TV operator with 615,000 subscribers in 18 states. Says Michael Franson, an analyst for Boettcher & Co., a Denver securities firm: "If you broke up United into pieces and sold them all separately, they would be worth more to investors than United is today." Franson reasons that the stock, which is now trading for about $28 a share, has a real value...
...faces with all-too-familiar problems. But like a stratified rock in Geology I, the school tells more about where the town has been than where it is going. English Teacher Tizoe Romero recalls the '40s, when Memorial was the poor white man's school. Coach Harry Franson remembers twelve years ago, when Memorial was overwhelmingly black. Today Memorial is about 70% Hispanic. A copy of the 1980 yearbook lies open on a table in the art room: Maggie Lopez and Marcos Robles "Best Couple"-and Georgina Araujo and Alfonso Martinez-"Best Hair." One searches in vain...
