I would bet that in those huge number of rows you have some data that had a carriage return internal to the record (such as an address record that includes a line break). Look for rows that have empty data in some fo the columns you would expect data in. I ususally reimport the file to a work table (with an identity so you can identify which rows are near the bad ones) and then run queries on it to find the ones that are bad.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
