The Chelsea Girl Murders
“If it hadn’t happened, a week from now a gas pipe might have ruptured, blown up the building, and killed us all,” said Phil, lifting his big Thai beer in a salute to our good luck. We were sitting at a corner table at Regional Thai Taste, a restaurant on Seventh Avenue and Twenty-second Street.
“Except you. Somehow, you’d survive,” I said.
Phil has survived an extraordinary number of disasters in his lifetime. This all began during World War Two, when Phil was a young British soldier in North A...frica and the only survivor of an attack by Rommel. Since then, he’d pulled widows and babies out of fires, crawled out of the wreckage of plane crashes and ferry sinkings, and eluded a cobra that came up a Calcutta toilet. The stories he told about these things were really unbelievable—I thought he was completely full of crap until he showed me his scrapbook of news clippings about his various adventures. He didn’t show it to me to be boastful, although he had a healthy ego and was not a falsely modest saint kind of guy.MoreLess
