...academic career ended abruptly in 1927, when Chiang Kai-shek turned on the Chinese Communists and drove them underground. Ho's hegira took him back and forth between Moscow and China for the next 13 years, forming new parties, resting in British or Chinese jails, organizing hunger strikes, taking a concubine who later bore him a daughter, and writing inspirational poetry when nothing more inspiring could be done...
Vicious Circle. This paradox in what Dr. Power calls "the garden variety of mildly diabetic patients" goes part way toward explaining the diabetic's constant hunger: he keeps on eating because insulin tends to stimulate the appetite. This alone would make it hard for him to keep his weight down. But in addition, insulin stimulates the deposition of fat.

In language and customs the northeasterners are more akin to the Lao than to the other 20 million Thais. They are fond of hard liquor, consuming vast quantities of a home-brewed rice whisky called lao khao, which burns with a fine blue flame when ignited. Their staple food is rice and pla raa-raw fish that has been allowed to rot for as long as six months. They also eat tarantulas drenched...
