"Di New Haven, Conn., Ketika saya tumbuh dewasa, ada dua jenis Irlandia. Ada tikus "koboi toko obat", yang berkeliaran di sekitar kolam renang Elm Street selama Longley's Lunch. Dan ada orang-orang muda Irlandia yang sungguh-sungguh yang berjuang naik dari latar belakang Grand Avenue saloonkeeper dari ayah mereka, pergi ke Yale Law School, dan sekarang telah menemukan tempat tinggi dengan preferensi politik lokal atau dalam profesi guru."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In New Haven, Conn., when I was growing up, there were two sorts of Irish. There were the "drugstore cowboy" micks, who hung around the Elm Street poolroom over Longley's Lunch. And there were the earnest young Irishmen who fought their way up from the Grand Avenue saloonkeeper backgrounds of their fathers, went through Yale Law School, and have now found high place by the preferment of local politics or in the teaching profession.
