My Search for Heros Continues

One of the leading contenders for my hall of heroes, other than the Titanic band leader, is Jack Hawke, former prime minister of Australia.  Son of a minster, himself an agnostic, Rhodes scholar, and a card caring socialist, he rose from rural obscurity to lead the powerful Australian National Trade Union Association and served as Australia's third longest active prime minister. Among his many 'hero' qualifications is his former place in the Guinness Book of Records.  Jack held the 'fastest beer drinker' title longer than any other contender.  While at Oxford he drank a yard (2.5 pints) of beer in 11 seconds.   Am I talking heroes or what?
