[Leica] An American Yankee in Herr Leitz' Court

[kleinp at BATTELLE.ORG (Klein, Peter A)]

Didier:  The subject line is a parody on the name of a novel by Mark
Twain: "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." It was made into a
musical comedy by Richard Rodgers and his first writing partner, Lorenz
Hart. 

As to non-American Yankees, you'll have to ask your local third-world
literary luminary.  Or find yourself a postmodern literary
deconstructionist, who may be found at most U.S. universities.   I don't
know if they've reached the German-speaking portion of Switzerland yet,
though I suspect their already firmly entrenched in La Suisse Romande.
