The Railways bad just started this new summer train and nobody knew about it. Second, I was unable to sleep. I had been to IIT Kanpur for a talk. Before leaving, I drank four cups of coffee in the canteen while chatting with

fog-shrouded morning, July 4, 1952, when a young woman named Florence Chadwick waded into the water off Catalina Island. She intended to swim the channel from the island to the California coast.

or just a picture needing to be drawn. Everything I ever turned in for a grade was a masterpiece. School was my passion and my parents couldn’t have been any more proud of me. As soon as I'd get home from school, I’d run straight up to my room and finish all of my homework and study for the next quiz to come up. To me, it never got boring. I’d do it all night until there was nothing left to study anymore. Eighth grade was coming to an end soon, and my parents came into my room to

They said I'd end up like my brother. So the week after I graduated high school, I was off to boot camp. But old
