"European Union: A Clique of Multinationals or a Union of Peoples?

Gaither Stewart
In a disturbing cartoon, security inspectors at a US entry point welcome a neatly dressed, probably European foreign passenger. Expeditiously they isolate him, efficiently fingerprint him and record his eyes, then medically they pore into his every orifice before photographing and x-raying him, after which, the dazed and confused tourist or businessman is pushed toward the exit under a sign reading: “Welcome to the USA.” The cartoon reminded me of arrival controls at the Soviet Sheremetovo Airport in Moscow during the dark night of Brezhnevism."
