In the multilingual world of espionage, the professionals call it hosen herunterlassen?literally, dropping one's trousers. Fielding could hardly have caused more of a flurry at Brown's if he had literally done so. No wonder. An estimated 2,000,000 Americans will visit Europe this year, and an impressive number of them will follow a trail carefully blazed in advance by Temple Hornaday Fielding, at 55 the archon of U.S. guidebook writers...
