...Practically everywhere she went on her U.S. visit, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was smothered with roses, which are her symbol as well as her late father's.

While the French, Italian or German driver burns out his batteries with his horn and uses his car as an instrument of vengeance ("In Germany," says one psychoanalyst, "anger is a status symbol"), the American knows that he must drive as part of a group. Although Americans endure queues, bad service, inept repairmen, and surly sales help with remarkable stoicism, French Philosopher Jacques Maritain once suggested that they are impatient with life itself.
