The stuff about Americans not knowing much about other countries
reminds me of the time I was introduced to a British mathematician
in New Zealand.  The introducer remarked that I was from the U.S.
Without a pause, the introducee said, "I find people from the U.S.
so insular, don't you?"  I had to admit he was right.
