Four armies are positioned along the North Korean border and another five spread west through Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. Three armies hold rebellious Tibet, and those massed in south China total seven-one guards vulnerable Hainan Island, another is stationed in mountainous Yunnan province, and three are lined up along the North Vietnamese border.

He had also been taking ultrasonic treatments for a sore knuckle on his left hand. But in the first round he bloodied Chuvalo's nose; in the second, he unleashed a series of six straight combination punches...
...average nightclub carouser, having come to see some skin, finds himself involved in a subtle spoof, and there are a few moments when he cannot be absolutely sure that he himself is not being mocked.
