...good life themselves, few West Europeans would second that harsh assessment. The centerpiece of the Community's comeback is the E.C. plan to put in place something that Americans take for granted: a single marketplace in which goods, services and workers can circulate freely, and where competition can reward efficient enterprise. In 1957 the E.C.'s founding treaty promised just such a common market, but although member states dismantled intra-Community tariff barriers, they retained a bewildering barrage of regulations to restrict trade and curb competition.

Clancy has been at loose ends since he came down from the adrenaline rush of completing Danger (he wrote the final 45 manuscript pages in a single day to meet his May 1 deadline).

When waters were cleaner and trout spawned nearly everywhere, killing and eating the fish were a more common reward for the catch. But a generation raised on conservation ethics is releasing fish to reproduce and perhaps be caught again. Our atavistic selves relish the hunt, but our better natures understand the need to protect what we cherish. Fly-fishing lets us do both...
