		David Wallechinsky: Of all the events in the Olympics, it certainly appears that ice dancing is the one in which the judging is completed before the performances.
		David Wallechinsky: The International Skating Union will review the decision, and they may reprimand one or two of the judges, but there is nothing that the IOC can do, because the running of competitions is the responsibility of the international sports federation in charge of each sport.

		David Wallechinsky: If you were living in Europe, you would be watching all of the events live because Eurosport broadcasts everything! If you don't like the way NBC covers the Olympics, I urge you to write to them and tell them so.

		David, what about the--of course, we’re all familiar with then President Jimmy Carter’s decision in 1980 to boycott the Olympics because of the Russians and all of that.
		DAVID WALLECHINSKY: Well, the first--there are actually boycotts in the ancient Greek games, but the first boycott in the modern games happened in 1956.
		DAVID WALLECHINSKY: Well, first of all, Baron DuKubertand was absolutely opposed--the founder of the modern Olympics--was absolutely opposed to having women in the Olympics.

	Chinese government censors Wallechinsky's Olympic book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Wallechinsky says that passages about Chinese running coach Ma Junren, runner Wang Junxia, swimmer Zhuang Yong and volleyball player Wu Dan, were objected to by the Chinese censors.
		Wallechinsky writes, "I refused to approve any cuts the censors couldn't prove were untrue." As of this point, the book will not be translated into Chinese, under the current agreement.
		Wallechinsky concludes this weeks Sports Illustrated article by saying, "Despite this experience, I don't think the Olympics should be boycotted or moved out of China.

		IT IS a measure of the esteem in which selected writers of reference works are held that their volumes are known by the author's name, rather than the title.
		But turn to page 19 of your Wallechinsky and you will find that the 1964 Olympic 200m winner, world record-holder Henry Carr, only finished fourth in his trial "but was given the nod by US coaches over the third-place finisher, Bob Hayes".
		Wallechinsky was introduced to the Olympics at Rome in 1960 by his father, the novelist Irving Wallace.

	"The World's 10 Worst Dictators"? (ZNet Blog)
		Wallechinsky’s list isn’t quite an “Axis of Evil,” “Rogue States,” “Outposts of Tyranny,” or “Failed States” (also sometimes “Weak States"---depending on whether Washington would like to threaten them now or threaten them later) kind of list, either---not simply propaganda, that is, as opposed to the better-camouflaged variety.
		Wallechinsky’s list, on the other hand, includes states and regimes that the speechwriters for the regime in Washington would never mention, even dishonorably: Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (No. 5), Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan (No. 7), Saparmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan (No. 8), and Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan come to mind.
		None of Wallechinsky’s dictators are dictators over much more than their own local fiefdoms.

	Books \| Back to Athens
		David Miller's monumental account of the modern Olympics, massively resourced and exhaustively researched, balances the heroics of Paavo Nurmi, Jesse Owens, Fanny Blankers-Koen, Dawn Fraser and Haile Gebrselassie with the darker tales of Nazi exploitation, cold war boycotts, terrorism, shamateurism and drug cheats.
		The successors to Coubertin's presidency loom large, notably Avery Brundage (1952-1972), who tried to hold the line against professionalism, and Juan Antonio Samaranch (1980-2001), who presided over the modern expansion and commercialisation of the games, enjoyed surrounding himself with minor royalty, and appeared to see himself as some sort of head of state.
		But the one that sports writers will be taking to Athens this summer is the latest edition of David Wallechinsky's invaluable guide, which provides the results and capsule reports of every event at the summer games since 1896.

	Working Dogs Book Store - People's Almanac, No.3 (David Wallechinsky)
		David Wallechinsky holds a special place in my heart because he is an author who makes both well known and obscure history interesting.
		Wallechinsky's interest and research pertaining to history, and the effort he made producing these books, was appreciated by me, and on behalf of those who read all three books, I would like to offer my gratitude.
		Anyone who has the desire to impress their friends as being an intellectual would be well served by reading these three books, as they serve as a crash course in history while being entertaining as well.

		Bush and his oligarchy have murdered tens of thousands of foreigners (enough for Wallechinsky to “take him seriously”), and is continuing apace to (literally) destroy the world—more than earning the title of leading dictator in modern history.
		It should be noted that Wallechinsky prepared his list "after consultation with Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, and Amnesty International"—every group connected directly to elite-funded NGOs and foundations.
		Wallechinsky's upcoming book "Tyranny: World's 20 Worst Dictators" will undoubtedly continue spinning the same distortions, and leaving the worst dictator—“the” dictator—off the list.

	Book of Lists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Book of Lists refers to any one of a series of books compiled by bestselling author Irving Wallace, his son David Wallechinsky, and daughter Amy Wallace.
		The first volume was initially controversial and banned in some libraries and parts of the United States when it was published due to, among other things, a chapter that graphically described popular sexual positions.
		Wallace and Wallechinsky were also responsible for editing The People's Almanac which covered similar ground, as well as The Book of Predictions.

		When the 1984 Games were destined for his hometown of Los Angeles, David, who had taken the original family name of Wallechinsky, anticipated the event with tremendous excitement.
		Every four years, Wallechinsky researches each living gold medalist to see if there might be some new factlet that would update and enhance the story of, say, Helsinki ’48 or his beloved Rome ’60.
		Wallechinsky too makes the modern equivalent of pennies for his effort, which has little audience beyond Olympic reporters and librarians.

		David Gilman Romano, a senior research scientist at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, said those athletes were known for their special diets.

		Wallechinsky believes it can be traced to the psychology of competition.

		The earliest version of the David Lang mystery I have found is in the FATE Magazine for July 1953.
		FATE was the source for strange stories in America in the 40's and 50's, and a magazine that Edwards had previously published stories in, as well as borrowed most of his stories for his book Stranger Than Science from.

		In 1997, David Wurmser wrote an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal that advocated overthrowing Saddam Hussein by supporting Ahmed Chalabi, whom he would later describe as one of his mentors.

		Go back, Wallechinsky says, to the summer of 1998, when America was agog as Mark McGwire hit the once-unthinkable total of 70 home runs to break Roger Maris' 1961 record of 61 in a season.
		Wallechinsky remembers updating a passage in his Olympic book that summer, on 1996 shot put gold medalist Randy Barnes, who had just been banned for life from track and field.

		Most dictators marshal various arguments to justify their repressive actions to their people and the world, Wallechinsky notes.
