Smart TalkSMART TALK by Dr. Molto Breve
A CONFIRM: So you thought the directions to your made-in-Asia appliance were bad? Institute for the Linguistically Impaired therapist Soto Voce thought so, too, until he bought an Italian leather jacket. He was proud to own some craftsmanship from the old country, until he read the card he found in a pocket:
"The real calf leather, in order to maintain its characteristics, has to be protected against the raindrops, and treatment can warrant it for spots caused by water or sweat. The veinings are a confirm of the naturalness of this leather."
Dr. Voce showed me this card one evening in the Fowler Lounge, one Italian to another. "So much for China bashing," he blushed.
