He had hit with the wallop of a freight train. Mann released the ratchet on the reel to let the fish run. Then, without warning, the line slackened...

On Thursday, with conditions worsening every hour, the British Civil Aviation Authority moved. The strict regulations rationing sales of low-fare tickets were bent, allowing airlines to use up their August, September and October stand-by quotas now in order to get stranded Americans home. Still, it will take weeks to move...
