I just loved that sentence. I read it in my local newspaper and insisted on sharing it with you (it is the same AP story from another source)--later editions of the story edited it out: "But underneath that Mideast veneer was a full-blooded American teen, a born-and-bred Floridian sporting white Nike tennis shoes and trendy jeans. And as soon as the lanky, 6-foot teenager opened his mouth, his true nationality would betray him."
