...turned off by high prices and knocked shrimp off their shopping lists. American shrimpers, who still practice their trade in boats, do not like the lower prices and tough competition. They have been making protectionist rumbles in Washington for a tariff on imported shrimp, but thus far to no avail...

Later, he joked that the Germans had probably insisted he get out of town because his tattered jogging outfit was so indecorous. Unlike some of his predecessors at Defense, he has none of the arrogance or aloofness that...
