    “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)

    “Does he lie there
    forever, where his rifle waits, giant
    and straight? . . . I think you die again
    and live again,
    Johnny, each summer that moves inside
    my mind.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
