Though the U.S. and the Soviet Union might prefer to ignore the issue, Europeans are more visibly concerned. "The whole question," warns Bromke, "could conceivably slip out of everyone's hands but the Germans'." Czechoslovakia's Doudera puts the problem in even starker terms.

Instead, McClure's plan would de-list wolves immediately, and let state game laws treat them as predators, outside designated havens in Idaho's Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and in Glacier and Yellowstone parks.
