- LETTERS, Page 9Clancy's Technothrillers
-
- My husband and I really enjoy reading Tom Clancy's novels
- (BOOKS, Aug. 21), although I sometimes get lost in all the
- Soviet names and technical descriptions. I like to think he
- wrote Patriot Games for all his women fans. For the past few
- years I've bought my husband a Clancy novel for his birthday in
- October; I was happy to learn that this year would be no
- exception.

- I don't mind Clancy's living out his fantasy life on paper.
- But with the security of the U.S. and the lives of real people
- at stake, I would be uneasy if he were actually to achieve his
- dream of working for the CIA. Americans have suffered enough
- from amateurs directing our foreign policy and covert actions.
