Free entertainment, for life - CNN.com. "Bored?...Read!!!" Also, I show you a MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD with the STATUE OF LIBERTY, NYC, NY, USA - one hand is for "torching", but the other one is for holding a... "BOOK"? [No, it's actually a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law)]. But she could have been holding a book, too, for symbolic purposes :)...

Reading books is  Free entertainment, for life - CNN.com

"The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the WorldFrenchLa Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. 
The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. 
A broken chain lies at her feet. 
The statue has become an icon of freedom and of the United States."
Thank you again, France! :)
