Catch Me If You Can
Half a century ago, Filbert Bayi revolutionized how the middle-distance races were run. During that heyday of athletics competition, before pacers were hired to take the lead, the unheralded Tanzanian served as his own rabbit. The innovative Bayi set a blistering pace that dared formidable challengers from around the globe to 'catch me if you can.' After a singular career that included two world records and Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals, Bayi took the same assertive approach into post-racing life as an educator and sports administrator. He still embodies excellence in a school and foundation that bear his name as he strives to improve his country and community. In telling his long-awaited story, Bayi recounts hardships as well as enduring friendships with great rivals like John Walker. Over nearly 70 years, his experiences consistently reflect the three values he treasures most — sacrifice, commitment and confidence — setting an unforgettable example for anyone, anywhere, to follow.

I stole every nickel and blew it on fine threads, luxurious lodgings, fantastic foxes and other sensual goodies. I partied in every capital in Europe and basked on all the world's most famous beaches'. Frank W Abagnale, alias Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams and Ringo Monjo, was one of the most daring con men, forgers, imposters and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and co-piloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as a member of hospital management, practised law without a licence, passed himself off as a college sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks all before he was twenty-one. Known by the police of twenty-six foreign countries and all fifty states as 'The Skywayman', Abagnale lived a sumptuous life on the run - until the law caught up with him. Now recognised as the nation's leading authority on financial foul play, Abagnale is a charming rogue whose hilarious, stranger-than-fiction international escapades and ingenious escapes - including one from an aeroplane - make CATCH ME IF YOU CAN an irresistable tale of deceit.
