Thanks, Jim. 5 of the 15 sentences with なるべく were cases of なるべく早く (which was added as an entry after the sentences were indexed.) I've changed the indices. They'll go live next week.

The example sentence used here:
大至急お願い、なるべく早くお願いします。 I need it ASAP.
really belongs with なるべく早く.  There are plenty of sentences available for なるべく.  For example:
なるべく飛行機での旅行は避けています。I avoid traveling by air, if I can help it.
or
なるべく高たかくジャンプしてみなよ。Try to jump as high as possible.
