When Yates McDaniel died in Florida in 1983, few outside his family paid much attention. The only hint of his fame came in a brief obituary buried on the inside pages of the New York Times. The obit suggested bravery and a past far more exciting than almost anyone knew. Even those who worked alongside him in the 1960s at the Associated Press were startled to learn what McDaniel had been, what he had done when he was a young man and the world was at war. Yet, this remarkable reporter covered more of the Asian war than anyone else--from the savage Japanese assault on Nanking in 1937 to the fall of Singapore in 1942 to landing with US Marines on New Britain in 1943. He took risks no other reporter ever accepted, and colleagues joked that Japanese bombers followed him wherever he went.

It started out as a post-swim meet pizza date. All too soon, the evening turned into on of screams and death, four lives lost, two kids terribly injured, the Buick smashed beyond recognition by the impact of the heavier convertible, whose driver was the fourth fatality. But it didn't end then. Forty years later, after-effects of the crash were still reverberating among the survivors--siblings, parents, friends, neighbors, and teachers--who were left to deal with the follow-on realities of a terrible tragedy, one more episode in the continuing American story of drunk driving and its consequences. . . .an exceptionally well done account of the long term consequences of an alcohol crash, noted Chuck Hurley, CEO, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
