UKRAINE TALLEST MAN

An Associated Press correspondent helps to unlace a Nike sport shoe to Leonid Stadnik, said to be the world's tallest man, in the village of Podoliantsi in Ukraine's northwestern Zhytomir region on Tuesday, June 8, 2004. A manager for a media company in New York mailed a pair of shoes after learning from newspapers that Stadnik had spent most of his life barefoot, failing to afford proper shoes for his 17-inch long feet.
