...Diego Freeway, and all the other cars disappear. Zap, there they go. Last month, off Ketchikan, from an altitude of about 1,000 ft., Bush Pilot Dale Clark spotted something glinting in the water of Carroll Inlet. He pointed. ''Down there, see?'' His passenger, a sightseer from the Lower 48, saw nothing but salt water. Clark, a burly, bearded man, threw his float-equipped Cessna into a tight, 80 degrees bank, and a few moments later landed in the light chop near a sizable school of big black-and- white orcas, the clownish and sociable five-ton mammals called killer...

In 1913, at 15, he journeyed alone through Europe for four months before returning to the U.S. for prep school. He was, he said, "a fanatical sightseer," and he visited cities, museums and other sites with a relentless and methodical efficiency. That thirst for knowledge and experience--at times, it seemed, an almost undifferentiated thirst, a quest to see and know about everything, large and small, important and arcane--helped determine the direction of his career...
