This (San Francisco) is the most beautiful city in America, Probably because it looks nothing like America
~ Ilya Ilf
A Spaniard and a Pole worked in the barbershop where we got our hair cut. An Italian shined our shoes. A Croat washed our car. This was America.
There will be no beautiful widow with Persian eyes sitting at your grave. And teary-eyed kids won't be asking: Papa, papa, can you hear us?
