Two years later Finley heard about a kid pitcher from Hertford, N.C., who had peppered his foot with shotgun pellets in a hunting accident.

While anti-Europeans argued that a yes vote would be the death knell for British sovereignty, former Prime Minister Edward Heath, a tireless pro-Europe campaigner, hailed the EEC as a peace bond between France and Germany; he appeared to imply that if Britain withdrew, Europe's traditional archfoes might soon have another go at one another...
