Bringing up a family in the 50’s in / Detroit, they bought (and paid for) the Cold War. At the / wedding, we raise the kiddush cups as we stand beneath / the chuppa. Looking up from the wine into each / other’s loving eyes, we taste the 1970 Pomerol, moan / slightly, and share in ecstasy the joys of red. translation: remark: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS title: Who RU2 Day: Mass Media and the Fine Art Print opening date: 2018-11-18T05:00:00 Who RU2 Day: Mass Media and the Fine Art Print.
