    One man with a dream, at pleasure,
    Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
    —Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881)

    Greece is a sort of American vassal; the Netherlands is the country of American bases that grow like tulip bulbs; Cuba is the main sugar plantation of the American monopolies; Turkey is prepared to kow-tow before any United States pro-consul and Canada is the boring second fiddle in the American symphony.
    Andrei Andreyevich Gromyko (1909–1989)
