I searched WorldCat and found "The Survivor" by Walter Moudy in 2 books.

_Political science fiction : an introductory read_ by Martin Harry Greenberg & 
Patricia S. Warrick.  Prentice-Hall, 1974

_The year's best s-f: 11th annual.  Simon & Schuster, 1966.

I know that I read this story years ago.  I have not found a full text on line, but 
I think that it is "The Survivor" by Walter Moudy.  It is out there in a couple of 
different older anthologies.  Maybe Abebooks to find one that is out of print?

A teacher described this story to me and I'd love to find it--it reminded us
of the Hunger Games.  The description is pretty sketchy, but maybe it will
ring a bell for someone.
Set at some point in the future, there are no longer any wars, instead each
country sends a representative to a war game.  The individual who wins gets
whatever they want (above the law, etc.) forever.  There is a disturbing
scene at the end where the winner goes into a house and takes a girl
upstairs (against her will and presumably to rape her) and her parents can't
do anything about it.
Anyone?
Thanks for your help!
Amy :)
