Olympic gold medallists Jesse Owens, left, and Bob Beamon exchange views as they meet at a breakfast in New York on May 25, 1976. Owens, who won his medal for the so-called "Nazi Games"; is now a director of the U.S. Olympic Committee and gave an interim report on the Olympic coin program and launched the Olympic Art show. Beamon received his gold medal in the same event in the 1968 games. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo/Dave Pickoff)
