Being a typical American, I am of mixed european descent, but my patronymic traces back to Co. Tyrone, circa 1850, and I identify with the irish more than, say, the germans or the english.

Oh, I should add that I've an uncle who's a priest, but my father left the church in disgust. This never caused bad blood between the two of them, though. It was a large, tightly-knit family.

aimless, no americans ever identify with their german ancestors
this is one of the reasons i am going to be my thread of great german americans eventually
the worst thing about national self-stereotypy is the 'x culture is about close-knit families'

funny you mentions all that nilms, turns out i'm irish! i always figured we were german. my mom's fam is all german. i figured my dad's latter-day hibernomania was total crap; we have an irish name but none of the other trappings. but i quizzed him, and dad's dad moved to the midwest from bklyn during ww2 and thank christ dropped his catholicism to get married. just think, i could have a whole other set of psychic fetters. that's my fackin story.

My purely german-american grandmother had three sisters. Their father strictly forbade all of them to consort with irishmen. Of the four, three of them married irishmen and the fourth become a nun. I guess they didn't identify well with the german side of the family, either.

Welles lavished praise on actors he admired such as Joseph Cotten, his co-star in The Third Man ("brilliant") and John Wayne ("some of the best manners of almost any actor I've ever met in Hollywood"). But at others he hurled insults. At one point another titan of acting, Richard Burton, approached him in the restaurant, saying: "Elizabeth [Taylor] is with me. She so much wants to meet you. Can I bring her over?" Welles replied: "No. As you can see, I'm in the middle of my lunch."

When you're a conspicuous genius and aging enfant terrible there were certain conventions which must be upheld and rudeness to Richard Burton was one.
