    “Now comes this Russian diversion. If it is more than just that it will mean the liberation of Europe from Nazi domination—and at the same time I do not think we need to worry about the possibility of any Russian domination.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Grishkin is nice: her Russian eye
    Is underlined for emphasis;
    Uncorseted, her friendly lust
    Gives promise of pneumatic bliss.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
