What Next?! David Ainsworth

Ideally, biographies should be inspiratrional, but that objective is presumptuous for an autobiography. Maybe entertaining is a more realistic one. So, gentle reader, would you like to know how it feels as a twenty four year old lieutenant to command a 2,000 man Marine Corps regiment, if only for a few days? Or how your "flight or fight" response helps, if it does, when someone is trying to shoot you with a hunting rifle? How hot would you have to be to wade into Piranha-infested Amazonian waters to cool down? How do the twenty one million residents of Mumbai launder their clothes? Did you know the Kremlin houses four cathedrals but no prisons? That there is a huge, gleaming highrise city in the Panamanian jungle on a road to nowhere that services the mysterious global merchant navy carrying ninety percent of every manufactured thing within your eyesight? Or that an aboriginal Australian can inhale and exhale simultaneously when playing the didgeridoo? Or that ocean shipping revolutionized railroad equipment in America by eliminating boxcars. Were you aware that the twin Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a Muslim country, were evacuated on 9/11/2001? Inquiring minds want to know! Inquire within, if intrigued.
