Don,
here is a way to import that data correctly in one pass with a single
ReadList call:

ReadList["EWZ2.TXT", {Number, Word, Word, Number, Number, Number,
Number, Number}, WordSeparators -> {" \"", "\" ", "  "}]

This solution assumes that the EWZ2.TXT file is exactly as stated in
your post (the data is space delimited and not tab delimited).
Please let me know if this solution works on your system.
Thanks,
Dario
