...pretty serious," says Yerby, who was 29 at the time of the August 1997 attack. He hit the shark on the nose (the prescribed last-ditch defense, along with ripping at its gills), managed to get back on his board, and with his surfing buddy, paddled back to shore. By the time an ambulance got him to the hospital, doctors said, he had lost almost half the blood in his body and was close to death. As he recovered from his wounds in the hospital, many of Yerby's visitors asked him if he intended to go out and hunt...

Splashing about in the ocean, I did my best to keep my body hidden beneath the surface. Later, we adjourned to the shore, weary from our frolicking.

At 21, she was driving a meat truck around the North Shore, braving slaughterhouses and blood-covered butchers to haul crates of beef. Not long after, she was driving 18-wheelers. All jobs that relatively few Smith students have on their college resumes...
...perfect an Australian accent in A Cry in the Dark. She was "in rehearsal." Thank heaven for writers. "If you think of the innumerable regional accents of English-speaking Yanks, Anglos, Aussies and Asians, including the phonetically unimpressive Mr. Mahathir," comments TIME critic Robert Hughes, author of The Fatal Shore, a history of Australia, "you realize that the days of uniform English pronunciation are long gone." And Dr. Mahathir, for all his linguistic prowess, still seems to struggle with a few simple words?like discretion and humility...
