sethf (Seth Finkelstein):
From the Sunday Boston Globe :
[A Soviet writer discusses his visit to America]
I had been warned by American friends that drivers in Boston
are especially fierce and agressive. ... My first day, I crossed the
streets cautiously, as if in a jungle full of beasts of prey thirsting
for my foreign blood. I was standing at Harvard Square, prepared to
make a dash for my life, when a car stopped and a smiling driver made
a waving gesture... Now when I go down Mount Auburn Street, I purposely
cross the street every hundred yards. And believe me: Never in my life
have I seen so many smiling faces behind the windshields.
Either this person has made some very absurd misinterpretations, or the
Globe is printing propaganda of a type unseen since the '50s!
