...disgusting. The meats are dirty, the fish is disgusting. If something better is going to take the place of it, why not?" asked Cindy Bray, a Cambridge shopper...
FLEXING HIS RHETORICAL MUSCLES BEFORE THE VICE-PRESIdential debate, DAN QUAYLE explained what he called the essence of the Republican campaign. "If you give a person a fish," he said, "they'll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they'll fish for a lifetime." Besides misquoting the proverb (it's ". . . feed him for a day" and ". . . feed him for a lifetime"), Quayle was stealing a page from an unlikely book: Democrat Michael Dukakis recited the lines often during his 1988 campaign. Not to worry. The saying has been a favorite with orators since...

But I never really understood the lure of fishing and though I watched my grandfather attentively, I never learned anything. Without that knowledge of how a fish thinks, I don't think I could ever really comprehend "A River Runs Through It," at least not without the help of Maclean's prose. Redford's illustrations are incredibly beautiful...
