...Stanford flew her to its campus, in the hopes of luring her, but she eventually chose Harvard...
Neither Gau nor Weathers, both in critical condition, would have survived were it not for Lieut. Colonel Madan K.C., a Nepalese helicopter pilot. Choppers seldom venture above 6,000 meters: at a certain height, the thin air reduces their lift. Yet Madan flew up to a giant cross the climbers had painted on the Everest ice with red Kool-Aid. There he hovered, runners just touching the snow's treacherous surface, as Gau was loaded on board. Madan flew Gau down to the base camp, then repeated the process with Weathers. It was the second-highest helicopter rescue in history...
Daniel Muelhaupt, the pilot of a small plane, watched as the big jet turned and plunged into the Everglades at a 75 degree angle in a 100-ft. spume of water, dirt and small fragments of debris.

...That was the ballgame right there," Harvard coach Joe Walsh said. "Levy needs to make contact to put the ball in play and get us going, and [Doble got] a lot of curve balls, and he got underneath one a little bit and flew it out. That was a big opportunity for us to bust open the ball game. Every game you get an opportunity, and we just didn't take advantage...
