[There is] the bridge of many kilometers that hangs like iron lace over the bay connecting San Francisco and Oakland; the Ford factory near Cleveland, where you hardly see any workers in shops that produce eight-cylinder motors-who, if not we Soviet people, who . . . march in seven-league boots on the road of technical progress, who, if not we, can really appreciate (this) grandeur...
...Across the land the signs of limitless bounty were evident.
