...hunter's delight, Costa Rica is just as much an angler's paradise. Trusting, and innocently ignorant of flies with hooks, big rainbow trout swim serenely in never-fished mountain streams. Rivers churn with exotic fresh-water game-fish that cannot even be found in angling encyclopedias. There is the bobo, or bubblefish, an elusive silverside that dwells in the rapids and attacks a wet fly like something good to eat. There is the machaca, an acrobatic inhabitant of still-water pockets that looks like a cross between a herring and a white shad and often leaps itself...

Every song echoes their search for something almost as grotesque as it sounds, something the industry calls "the teen feel...
...redress the balance quickly, on the cheap? Although long-range ICBMs are too big and costly to mass produce, Russia's factories are geared to churn out the smaller medium-range and intermediate-range missiles. They must have seemed just right for Cuba, which is within easy range of the U.S., and hence potentially far more accurate than Russian-based missiles...
