The United States is bigger and much more important in international

If you look at the article for Grace Kelly, being an academy award winning
actress is mentioned before being princess of Monaco.
Right on. After all, size

Size isn't all that matters, but it's one thing that matters. (Or more

I believe that Paderewski was a pianist and a Prime Minister during the same
historical time period. The same for Grace Kelly being an actress and princess
of Monaco.
