While both my uncles (one from the Center of the Universe --
Pittsburgh -- and the other from the Real Center of the Universe --
Lubbock) were stationed in Japan finishing off their tours, neither

Neither changed their attitudes even though they ended up traveling
the world in their later years and became very cosmopolitan. Go figure.
