...than a decade, they are immortalized in legend and song, and by authors in the West such as John Hersey and Paul Theroux. We have come to Chen's home in Daxi in part because of Hersey's 1956 novel, A Single Pebble, which vividly describes the Qutang trackers' path, a narrow walkway carved into the cliff wall. Hersey calls it "the most terrible place on the whole river," a tempting endorsement for any adventurer. The soaring Gorges cliffs draw thousands of visitors a year to cruise the Yangtze.

Few companies hire new recruits without previous experience—those brandishing resumes, rolodexes and schmooze potential have neither room nor need for a battered copy of Let’s Go USA. The path of least resistance, in this case, is the path more taken, well-trod and lit with signposts—research, recruiting, this way to OCS.
