Covering some of the stories of the past three decades was like reporting from the darkness. … Nonetheless, I have been in awe of what remained to be admired. For while evil and corruption suited certain men, there were others inclined toward greatness… And there were beautiful things to see — so beautiful they defied description. I recall an aged Norwegian guide pointing from a mountaintop down toward the splendor of a fjord,   saying simply, “God did a good job on that one.”
