Why ves, there's a significant difference: our schools are better. Would you mind elaborating on that, sir? It requires no elaboration. Our schools are simply better. Well then, in what way, sir?

no matter how hard some of the Americans at the Festival tried to dispel this as Communist propaganda, the truth is that this incident and many more like it have happened. This is the image that much of the world has of America. It is a correct image. The United States consistently has claimed to be in support of democratic self government for all people. By definition this includes both civil and human rights.
