“And my wife is - you know my wife, Hanna Rosin - it's hard, there's no doubt. We have three kids, and it's a pain. I'm away a lot and it's hard on her, but she's been very generous about it and my kids have been very good about it, too. It also allows me when I'm Washington to be more intent with them.” KnowsHas BeensHardKidsPainThreeDoubtWifeVery GoodMy WifeGenerousNo Doubt Author:David Plotz

“In the [first] fifteen years [of field work] I can remember just ten times when I had really narrow escapes from death. Two were from drowning in typhoons, one was when our boat was charged by a wounded whale; once my wife and I were nearly eaten by wild dogs, once we were in great danger from fanatical lama priests; two were close calls when I fell over cliffs, once I was nearly caught by a huge python, and twice I might have been killed by bandits.” YearsFirstsHas BeensI CanTwoMightRememberWifeDogDangerFieldsHugeTenCaughtMy WifeBoatPriestsFifteenWoundedMight Have BeenDrowningCliffsWhalesFifteen YearsLamaPythonBanditsTyphoonsWild DogsClose Calls Author:Roy Chapman Andrews
