He is Kansas University's crack middle-distance runner, Glenn Cunningham, who at the age of 8 was so badly burned in a schoolhouse fire that he was never expected to walk again.

They learned to sit up on practically the same day. When the infants started to reach for toys, to crawl, walk and climb, Dr. McGraw left Jimmy to his own development, helped Johnny improve his. The effect on Johnny has been to make him bold, self-confident and cocky, while Jimmy is a charming roly-poly who gets what he wants by crying or smiling. These contrary attitudes in the twins...
