No American president had a more strained relationship with the press than Richard Nixon. Consumed by paranoia and stoked with bitterness, Nixon loathed the mainstream media. He didn’t even bother trying to conceal this malice.

Jesse Owens died in 1980. But nearly half a century later he remains an intriguing figure in history for what he experienced and endured not just in track and field, but in society as presumably one of America’s “heroes.”
