Turkish Teeth



The head-scarfed women smile graciously at small acts of courtesy in their holy places.

The men, on the other hand, smile less often: they are serious, studied, and thoughtful, though gracious and unassuming. But when the men do smile, for quite a few their teeth are brown and stained and crumbling.
