"Two Americans headlined the field: An exciting young challenger... faced a longtime champ, a Native Hawaiian. Barely 20 years old, Johnny Weissmuller was favored against 34-year-old Duke Kahanamoku."
"Few rooted against Kahanamoku. Often called the Ambassador of Aloha, he sailed through life with nothing but friends... It took grim determination to get angry with someone so friendly, even serene."
