...crippled left hand play an accordion again, never completely regained her former skill. So far, in compensation for physical injuries, each entertainer has collected from Pan Am a piddling $8,300-maximum allowable damages, under a 1929 treaty, for injuries suffered in international flights (unless the claimant proves willful misconduct).

When he brooded about his estrangement from his mother and his wife (divorced by him for misconduct last week), he got even angrier.
