...package whose surface looks pretty much like any other book-in the same way that one of his Brillo boxes resembles a Brillo box on a grocery shelf. The contents, however, turn out to be an unedited transcript of 24 hours worth of drug-induced schizophrenic chatter tape-recorded by Warhol while following his friends around...
Outside the high, grim wall that surrounds the house, hawkers shout, traffic rumbles and pedestrians chatter. Inside the wall, no one speaks to Anthony Grey, Reuters' man in Peking.

There's some idle chatter about the year 2000 so we won't mind looking back so often, and all the self-deprecation helps build the ethos of an underdog, gaining momentum all the time, winning this damn election against the longest of odds...
