Mack Trucks are to sponsor the American Athletic Union's international weight-lifting programme which, along with the annual national AAU weight-lifting championships, is the means by which the US Olympic teams are selected. What more appropriate sponsor could be found when it comes to lifting heavy loads?
What irks the Americans is that since the 1946-56 decade, when they won 39 world lifting titles, the Soviet Uhion has dominated the sport. Mack are teed up to put a dent in detente, Crossword puzzlers can work that one out for themselves.
