orders, and is made using a

because covering W until served
preserves its flavor.

and chose one within walking distance of
the park. Showing them out after they
had viewed it, the landlady said: "And
you'll be glad to know I don't take Jews."
Her mistake made clear to her, the anti-
Semitic landlady was renounced, and
another apartment found. But her blunder
left its mark. Back on the street my
mother made a vow. Her unborn baby
would have a label proclaiming his race
to the world. He would be called "The
Jew."
