If I had been asked that question 40 years ago, I would have been “A Citizen of the World”.

I speak enough of a number of languages to get in big trouble.

I could give directions to the American Embassy in Hebrew (with a discussion as to WHY it should be in Jerusalem!), make jokes in Spanish, and converse with Russian Emigres.

Of course, I am an entertainer, and at one time, could sing in 11 languages.

Now it’s “America First”.

I have learned from history that when America is strong and proud, the rest of the world is safer and more prosperous as well.

I can still remember the lyrics to “Moscow Nights” in Russian, and “Mary’s Boy Child” in Haitian Creole, but my Arabic is confined to three phrases: Hello, I feel sick, and a very nasty curse!
