Olympics Atlanta ’96: special issue
The joy of every Olympics is that a star is born. If you did not know about Michael Johnson before Atlanta, you could not fail to do so now. He runs like Forrest Gump and won the 200m and 400m at the same Games, making history and becoming the fastest human on the planet. ‘Superman!’ we gasped as he supplied the magic of this Olympics. But as the Games have grown they have become a target for terrorism and an irresistible attraction for commercialism
John Lovesey discusses the problems and advocates a royal rebellion
We begin our stunning photographic record of the triumphs and the tears
Who won what
Zoë Heller is on holiday
Relative Values – Lynne Pemberton, novelist, and her son, Michael, a painter
A Life in the Day of Francis Barrett, Irish Olympic boxer
