Reply #13: I have come to learn about the Polish people's lust.

The problem was that the President's message had been badly mangled by Steven Seymour, a freelance interpreter from New York City, hired by the State Department at $150 a day for the Polish leg of Carter's trip. When Carter said he had come to learn about the Polish people's desires for the future, the translator used a Polish word meaning sexual desire. When the President said that he had left the U.S. that morning, the interpreter used a word meaning that he had abandoned the U.S. forever. Carter's praise of the Poles' much revered Constitution of May 3,1791, came across as if he were holding it up to ridicule. Seymour even substituted a few Russian words for Polish.
