...greatest of expectations for their daughter Dominique--even before she was born. The Romanian gymnasts, who had defected to the U.S. during the cold war, made a pact that their first-born would follow in their footsteps--even if they had to "just drink water and eat bread." Dumitru had his baby girl hanging by her hands from a clothesline at six months and tumbling in her first gymnastics class at age three. It paid off. Soon after her 10th birthday, they left their jobs in Tampa, Fla.--Camelia worked in a hair salon, Dumitru as a used-car dealer...

For color read colored, as in "colored people" and other oppressed minorities--artists seeking free expression, women in search of the apocalyptic orgasm...
Gaudi was obsessively pious, especially in his old age. He used to shuffle around the streets of his city nibbling on crusts of bread and seeking alms for the building of the Sagrada Famolia. He hated liberalism and was devoted to everything most penitential and reactionary in Spanish Catholicism. He was gloomy, short-fused, arrogant--the Christian virtue of humility was never his forte--and so misogynistic that he never married and probably died a virgin.
