"It's a Dangerous World, Babe."(Tom Clancy tells how Jack Ryan might take care of Osama bin Laden)(Interview)
Article Abstract:
Author Clancy says that though he wrote about a kamikaze pilot crashing into the Capitol, he did not imagine the terrorist attacks of September 11 because the role of fiction is supposed to be divorced from the role of reality. He also discusses how his continuing character, now President Jack Ryan, handles terrorism in his next novel "Executive Orders."
