Best-selling author Tom Clancy dead at 66
NEW YORK (AP) -- Tom Clancy, whose high-tech, Cold War thrillers such as "The Hunt for Red October" and "Patriot Games" made him the most widely read and influential military novelist of his time, has died. He was 66.
Penguin Group (USA) announced that Clancy had died Tuesday in Baltimore. The publisher did not provide a cause of death.
Tall and thin, with round, sunken eyes that were often hidden by sunglasses, Clancy had said his dream had been simply to publish a book, hopefully a good one, so that he would be in the Library of Congress catalog. His dreams were answered many times over.

Suspended fireman: Colleague's drinking on duty ignored
BERWICK -- A member of Defenders Fire Co. told a news station he was suspended Monday night because he reported another volunteer had moved an engine into the garage with alcohol on his breath, borough Fire Chief Bill Coolbaugh says. The drinking was ignored, Coolbaugh said the suspended member claimed.
But the chief says the drinking supposedly happened Aug. 10. No one reported anything about it until 19 days later, on Aug. 29, in the midst of an internal disagreement at Defenders, he said.
By that time, it was impossible to investigate the allegation, he said.
