A smaller piece

Aqui vai um mote para o Tecnosterona de hoje (no ar, mas indirecto, todos os sábados a partir das 24h):

Hoje celebra-se o dia da morte de Lee Strasberg, a par de Thelonious Monk (no mesmo ano de 82), Giordano Bruno (1600), Moliére (1673), Geronimo (1909) e Ernst Jünger (1998);

We can find people in the United States who will put up our share for a small piece of the action, yet we will retain control.

[From THE GODFATHER’s (Part Two) screenplay by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola]
