The more it changes...

From Will Rogers, around 1930:


A bunch of Americans tourists were hissed and stoned yesterday in France, but not until they had finished buying.

...

I see where they captured an American spy in France. He must have been working on his own, for we already know all we want to about 'em.

...

Nice, France, is pronounced neece, not nice. They have no word for nice in French.
