...elements were simply a challenge to some outdoorsmen -and women. The combination of -23° temperatures and 46-m.p.h. winds on New Hampshire's Mount Washington created a -95° wind-chill factor-but did not stop some hikers from risking their lives on its lower slopes. The same was true in New York's gale-whipped Adirondacks, where Psychiatric Social Worker Bill Myers explained that people went out in such weather just because it was there.

...Charlie, 40, has had many close calls in his ten years as a helicopter pilot in the Alaskan bush, but his luck ran out when a sudden gust of wind caught his chopper near Juneau, causing it to crash in flames. Nearly three-quarters of his body surface was charred, and doctors at Seattle's Harborview Hospital burn center had serious doubts that he would survive.

The most popular cut, at least for the disc jockeys, has been "indo Serenade," with its clearly defined melody and beautiful romantic piano work by Tyner. But the other numbers, including "Mes Trois Fils" and "Mode...
