PT>  From Tom Clancy's /Op-Centre III :  Games of State/, Chapter 49.

>> For a biography of Deputy Foreign Minister Richard Hausen and any 
>> information on his father, Smythe went on-line and executed FTPs to 
>> acquire data from /ECRC Munich, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, 
>> DKFZ Heidelberg, Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung 
>> mbH, Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik/, and */Comprehensive 
>> TeX Archive Network Heidelberg/*.

Op-Centre III was published on June 1, 1996.  CTAN was officially
announced at the EuroTeX conference in Aston, 1993.  Provided that the
novel was written somewhere in 1994-1995, Clancy seems to be very
interested in current technical news.
