"Assembling in a nearby bar, called La Carmencita in tribute
to the late dictator's daughter, the old-timers recalled, in
liquid bursts of nostalgic outrage, that the vandalised square
had until then been the Plaza de Carmen Polo, named after the
Caudillo's wife herself - named in her honour and honoured by
her name, which was now besmirched by this pachydermous con-
nection; or so these disapproving dotards unanimously averred."
--Salman Rushdie, "The Moor's Last Sigh"
