We had asbestos mines, moonshine and motion pictures. We had wilted florentines, consolatory rock cakes, macaroons destined to save the day and even an oblique reference to the sister with Down's syndrome in her sanatorium. Oh, and a mention of a nudist camp thrown in for good measure. Not forgetting Kristallnacht, Kindertransport and the Kennedys. Including JFK vomiting in the servants' loo. »
