First sentence: AMSTERDAM HAS AS MANY FACETS AS A 40-CARAT DIAMOND polished by one of the city's gem cutters: the capital, and spiritual "downtown," of a nation ingrained with the principles of tolerance; a veritable Babylon of old-world charm; a font for home-grown geniuses such as Rembrandt and Van Gogh; a cornucopia bursting with parrot tulips and other greener-more potent-blooms; and a unified social zone that takes in cozy bars, archetypal "brown" cafes, and outdoor markets.
