Obviamente, ambos son figuras relevantes en sus países de origen y al mismo tiempo tienen -o tuvieron- repercusión internacional.

We live in an age when watching and listening seems to be the preferred mode of learning, accumulating information and gathering input on nearly every subject under the sun. Under our sun, and often discussed in this forum, is the question of the three-tier system of alcohol distribution.
