David Albritton, 71, cheered the Americans as he watched on television in Dayton, where he no longer coaches high school track-not officially. A silver medalist in the Hitler Games of 1936, a high jumper, Albritton was Jesse Owens' best friend. They roomed together both at college and in Berlin. On the subject of people rooting for one another, Albritton might have some knowledge of what Jesse would have thought of Lewis' equaling his four gold medals.

Lambasting business wrongdoing in the U.S. in a 1981 speech, he declared, "Even Hitler, when he was butchering people, articulated a reason to his madness. We don't even do that." Earlier this year, Lord reluctantly approved a plea bargain with the Sperry Corp., which had been accused of overcharging the Defense Department.
