...trays, like those at the Graduate Center, are divided into six pie-like sectors, with a hole in the center for a cup or glass.

Yet in a land where there is barely enough to eat, an undernourished girl may have silver rings in her ears. Cammann condenses his impressions of Inner Mongolia into...
