...Debbie, the feat is especially momentous. When Michael was in grade school, a teacher told her that her son would never be successful because he couldn't focus in the classroom. It turned out that he had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and while it made concentrating in class difficult, racing in the pool was a different story. "I thought maybe he's not as focused in the schoolhouse, but I saw a love and passion for swimming in him at a young age," said Debbie, who works as an educator and school principal. "He could be there for hours during...

Qalibaf's true colors aren't clear. Relatively young, at 46, for Iranian politics, he is neither a turbaned mullah nor a bearded revolutionary but a manager who seems more interested in paving potholed streets than in parroting empty slogans. The son of a grocer in the northeastern city of Mashhad, Qalibaf was a teenage activist during the 1979 Islamic revolution. A few years later he became one of Iran's youngest military commanders, playing a crucial role in the 1982 liberation of the city of Khorramshahr from Saddam Hussein's invading army, and he subsequently served as Iran...
