Description

A freewheeling look at popular behavior in two New World countries. PA: "We have things on television, on national television, that you would only see on cable. We have frontal nudity, you can say all sorts of naughty words without too much problem..." CV: "I think that what is missing here-it's not that I'm crying for it to be there-is the puritanical component. There were no puritans as a group established early in Australia to help to shape Australian society." ... CV: "I was just wondering whether... the United States and Australia are as different as all that. I think they are different, but they're more like each other than like any of their neighbors. The similarities of countries inhabited by people who use the English language and who have originated from England is remarkable." ... PA: "I don't recognize the country that Claudio is describing. I've never lived there."
