...camp she lives in is typical of those housing migrants in the more prosperous cities across China. In a two-story building made of concrete slabs and thin aluminum sheets that seem no sturdier than cardboard, there is no heat, no water, and the workers, around 400 in all, sometimes live four to a room. It is freezing in the winter, stifling in the summer. Most of the workers are men. They cook their evening meals on small electric water heaters and, during summer and fall, after work they sit outside and smoke or play cards and drink beer...
...everyone is going to identify with people whose biggest problem is being oppressed by the household help. Cashmere's ratings have been weak--although that may have more to do with its cardboard characters and predictable, Soap 101 story lines than its milieu.

Intrigued, the American asked his translator to read from the papers, which turned out to be the war diaries of Dr. Dang Thuy Tram, a North Vietnamese field surgeon shot by an American patrol days earlier...
...substitute for portholes. Hershey’s Kisses would adorn the tops of our tallest towers. And spice drops would comprise Notre-Dame’s trademark rose windows. After centuries away, indulgence would finally return to the Church.At first, setbacks threatened to foil our quest. Indeed, the very cardboard foundation upon which we began our construction was unsteady and pushed our walls apart during construction. Our mortar was too wet and couldn’t withstand the forces of gravity and the uneven terrain. It seemed that the spice drop windows were too heavy, our ambitions too great...
