...charts a timetable of symptoms drawn from 147 male patients who began drinking at ages 18 to 19, and eventually wound up in his Shadel Hospital. Dr. O'Hollaren's statistics confirm his theory that it usually takes about 18 years to become a confirmed alcoholic. The journey's main stages...
...earth just right for the tall corn. To Author Lacour's credit, he does not overcultivate the acres. When Chark, the German, tells them of his plan to search for a gold-carrying plane that has crashed, all agree to stick together. Ridiculously ill-equipped, they begin a journey whose terrors bring out the best and worst in them all. Starving, sick, half-crazed, they stumble along after the German, take turns carrying the child and the box of crucifixes that the priest intends for native Indians.

...most remarkable small-boat voyages ever recorded. In 14 days he sailed a 22-ft. boat 800 miles through incessant gales and 90-ft. high waves to the west coast of South Georgia. Impossible? But there was the next leg of the journey: scrambling 29 miles across the island's glaciers to reach an east-coast whaling station. They did it in 28 hours. When they tottered into town, the whalers burst into tears at the sight of them...
