Paper

News Item: Police in Washington, D.C., announce plan for security checkpoints where drivers will show identification and state their purpose for traveling in the city.

From a conversation in "The Hunt for Red October" between Soviet Navy Capt. Marko Ramius and Capt. 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin:

Borodin: "Then I will live in Montana, and I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me, and I will have a pickup truck . . . or a . . . possibly even a recreational vehicle . . . and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?"

Ramius: "Yes."

Borodin: "No papers?"

Ramius: "No papers."
