...U.S.S. Franklin, turned into an oven by a Japanese bombing attack, smelling the stench of more than 700 men slow-roasted alive between its steel decks. "After that," he wrote, "I became a f___ing coward & was ready to come home immediately, to hell with the war & all that crap about what we are fighting for, etc? Well anyway the Korean War came along & I wanted to see if I was still a coward--I was!" By 1952, when he was discharged from the Marines, no one could have said Westermann had shirked his duties, despite various courts-martial...

Hong Kong chews up and spits out its starlets at stock-market speed knowing that in 10 minutes they could all be dinosaurs. "At the beginning everyone wanted this Cinderella fairy tale to come true," says director Yonfan. "But she became damaged by the system...

"He was literally green," says fellow climber and teammate Michael O'Donnell. "He looked like George Foreman had beat the crap out of him for two hours." The beating had actually been administered by Erik's climbing partner, Luis Benitez. Erik had slipped into a crevasse, and as Benitez reached down to catch him, his climbing pole raked Erik across the nose and chin. Wounds heal slowly at that altitude because...
