I was reading over Ron Paul's bio on wikipedia and found this interesting factoid:
"He gave up track after a knee injury, but joined the college swimming team instead after taking it up as therapy. He had been offered a full scholarship to run for the track team but declined it, worried that he wouldn't regain his previous speed. Paul was inducted into Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity,[9] and he served as steward and house manager of the fraternity. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1957.[7]"

So the obvious question is ....
How fast did Ron Paul run the mile?
