    A liberal is a socialist with a wife and two children.
    —Anonymous. BBC Radio 4 (April 8, 1990)

    ... the ... radio station played a Chopin polonaise. On all the following days news bulletins were prefaced by Chopin—preludes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas. The war became for me a victory, known in advance, Chopin over Hitler.
