...there is no work to be found in the region around Gilgit. The tribe must live on a meager subsidy paid by the Pakistani government, itself burdened with the responsibility of playing host to an estimated 2-1/2 million other refugees. Without their livestock--yaks, goats, and sheep bred especially for high altitudes--the Kirghiz have little to do but wait...
...Krige character deadly wrong a half-century before. Nobody has provided a decent line for any of them to say, let alone a scene that would allow them a memorable moment of fright or, for that matter, a shadow of the wit and style that had been bred into all their bones. The whole enterprise is as thin as an unoccupied shroud, less menacing than a Mickey Mouse cartoon and about as entertaining as an airline departure lounge...

The Rex resembles a rat with a 1940s permanent wave. Small, lean and docile, these little kings are bred without a topcoat (guard hairs) and have a downy, curly undercoat. The Russian Blue, which originated in Archangel in northern Russia, is a thick-coated, green-eyed, gray-blue cat of some popularity. Blues are shy, retiring and fond of winter. The Siamese came to the ancient royal family...
