  • What People Say About Chiropractic
    What people say about Chiropractic "I am very fortunate to have, so-to-speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. So, I visit Franco regularly, and he comes over to my house. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries he's always there for me, and helps me. So it's really terrific, and I know that first hand. That's why I always will be traveling around, all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers, and that's why it's really great to have you here, part of the Arnold Classic. Because, like I said, the Arnold Classic and Fitness Weekend are about health and about fitness and preventive care." Arnold Schwarzenegger "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal." Dan O'Brien Decathlon Gold Medallist Appearing in films like The Patriot and Braveheart has taken its toll on Mel Gibson. "You get hurt all the time. All you gotta do is just like eight takes of running down a hill and you twist an ankle," the action pic veteran tells TV Guide Online. "I got a chiropractor to come along to the [Patriot] shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within 15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles to South Carolina spend a week and work on the entire crew.

  • THE 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES 202 Carl Lewis Made Only a Cameo Appearance in the Long Jump
    THE 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES 202 Carl Lewis made only a cameo appearance in the long jump. He raced down TRACK AND the runway once, leaped a couple of inches beyond 27 feet, far enough to qualify comfortably for the final, then left the Coliseum to rest on, and for, FIELD his laurels. Edwin Moses, a graduate of Morehouse University with a degree in physics, settled for a costarring role in the 400-meter hurdles. He did the physical work. He won the event for the 105th straight time, a flawless victory that was never in doubt; he broke 48 seconds for the 28th time, a feat the rest of the world had accomplished only five times; and he ran only a tenth of a second slower than he ran in 1976 when, at the age of 20, he won the gold medal in Montreal. He joined Paavo Nurmi in history, the only runners to win the same individual Olympic event twice—eight years apart. Danny Harris, an American teenager, came in second, and Harald Schmid, a West German veteran, the last man to defeat Moses, in 1977, finished third. Moses costarred not with his rivals, but with his lovely West German wife, Myrella. She did the emotional work. As the race approached, and the tele- vision camera zoomed in on her, she displayed every nuance of feeling from anxiety to anguish. She cried. She trembled. She buried her face in her hands. Myrella knew, and she showed, much more than he did, how much the race meant to her husband.

  • John Gilliam African American
    South Carolina John GilliamNFL Football Player African John Gilliam is considered by football fans and players to be one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game. Over the course of his 11 year NFL career, Gilliam set all-time records and established himself as one of its best players. He has worn many hats during his American lifetime from All Pro for the Minnesota Vikings to motivational speaker and child advocate. He is currently the President and CEO of John Gilliam Enterprises, Inc. History Calendar A native of Greenwood, S. C., Gilliam, a phenomenal athlete, excelled in basketball, track and field, and football for Brewer High School. Known nationally for his basketball skills, Gilliam played football his senior year after accepting a dare from the head football coach, Luther Bradley, who recognized his speed. He became an All-State Football Player and an All American. His All-American status attracted college recruits from several universities. He accepted a scholarship to South Carolina State College (now University) and became one of the most spectacular football players ever to play at the University. Gilliam was twice voted All American and selected All-SIAC wide receiver, 1964-67. He graduated with a B. S. degree. A second round draft pick in 1967 by the New Orleans Saints, Gilliam became the first football player from SCSC to be drafted by an NFL team. His stellar NFL career began by scoring the first touchdown for the newly franchised New Orleans Saints - a ninety-nine yards kickoff return. From the very beginning, he piled up the yards and touchdowns.
