Bilingualism is one of the few positive inheritances of Strasbourg's checkered past. Almost everyone speaks both German and French, as well as the local throat-curdling dialect.

Taken together, they can depress the respiratory center and stop breathing; they may also slow the reflexes in the back of the throat, so that if a user vomits (which may happen after a large dose of methaqualone), he can choke...
