Reading this excellent summation of a world long-past, I can't help but recall childhood memories of books about Hillary (the hot lemonade he drank on Everest seemed very appealing--my own experience in the Himalayas is that hot Tang is the best) and perusing National Geographic (I'm not sure I actually read the articles). A more innocent era indeed.
