ON THE WINNING SIDE
There is the story of the American who ordered lobster at a restaurant and who got one with one claw missing. "You see," the waiter explained, "when lobsters fight, very often the stronger one tears the big claw off the other." "Then take this one back," the American said, "and bring me a winner." That is the attitude in which America enters this Avar. —Eric Knight in a BBC talk on 'American National Character and Our Own).
