...with controversy. Two years ago they ran out of foam. Last year they came under fire for advertising to pre-frosh females. But this year they really outdid themselves, landing an Associated Press article which included the quote, “I am going to scratch myself until I bleed to death if this continues another day.” Mather, you are full of geniuses. Dirty, yes, but sharp...
...cold war's back, and Hollywood's got it. Rambo muscles his way into Viet Nam and gets to win this time. Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger make every infidel bleed red, white and blue. And now, Mikhail Baryshnikov stars in a parable about a ballet star who eight years ago sought asylum in the West only to plunge into a refugee's nightmare: his plane crash-lands in Siberia, and he's back in the U.S.S.R.

And, as in other Mo Yan novels, peasants suffer and bleed while Communist functionaries strut, blunder and suck the country dry as Jintong's mother's breasts. The lad survives, though not without 15 years in prison, three in a mental institution and nearly a lifetime in thrall to his mammary fixation. "Whenever I saw a beautiful breast, my mouth would fill...
