Today only 23 nations maintain diplomatic relations, and the U.S. and staunchly anti-Communist Saudi Arabia...
This is an era of sophisticated canned goods. Old-fashioned lemonade arrives canned. Presidential memoirs come canned. American sport is canned and packaged, produced and directed until naturalism and spontaneity are fled. Sport appears in the living room marketed as fun and games.
