...Americans who have long since grown used to the dog-eat-dog world of hostile corporate takeovers, none of this sounds new. But for Europeans, the ground is shaking. A bare three months into 1999, the first year of Europe's single currency, the pace of deal making is already fevered.

...Katz for advice, and we decided I should latch onto the campaign of Bob Smith, the ultra-conservative Senator from New Hampshire, who is such a long shot that he didn't even garner the endorsement of the other ultra-conservative Senator from New Hampshire. While Smith holds absolutely none of the same views I have (except that there should be a fifth branch of the military, "the Space Force"), Katz and I determined that Smith was the only one likely to return my calls...
