Indeed, without any motive, the facts are few: two teenagers, aged 17 and 18, lured two pizza delivery men out to a secluded house on Saturday, April 19th and shot them in the head and chest straight through their rolled-down car window. Both men were then dragged from the car and shot multiple times at point-blank range. The killers used stolen handguns, looted from a sporting goods store some days earlier. No money was taken from the delivery men and the pizzas were left untouched...
Krakauer clicked the traditional victory snapshots and started back down the mountain. But Into Thin Air, his fascinating and troubling account of the climb (Villard; 293 pages; $24.95), is no chronicle of triumph. He was in ragged physical shape. A wracking cough had torn loose chest cartilage; his body had burned away 20 lbs. of muscle mass; he was running out of bottled oxygen.

Through the vagus nerve, sensation can travel directly from the cervix, through the abdomen and chest cavity, into the neck and to the brain stem, bypassing the spinal column. That surprising discovery led to the isolation of a chemical called vasoactive intestinal peptide, which Professor Barry Komisaruk says is the neurotransmitter, or nervous system chemical messenger, in the body that causes the orgasm sensation...
