His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,  and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet.

Having returned from Berlin,  he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,  either.In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

Owens? Olympic victories  made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,  motorcycles and dogs.

"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later."But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
