...that Debbie Williams, 31, a fellow parachutist with a modest 50 jumps to her credit, was in big trouble. Instead of "floating" in the proper stretched-out position parallel to the earth, Williams was tumbling like a rag doll. In attempting to join three other divers in a handholding ring formation, she had slammed into the backpack of another chutist, and was knocked unconscious...

But he would leave it weighing 150. The bulk he had added, more to withstand power than dispense it, melted as he went until Leonard was himself again -- tough and quick fisted, bright and quick witted but as small as a child. Sometimes he feigned exhaustion, keeping a right-hand lead at the ready, and other times he truly sagged...
