...portrait of No Cha, a three-headed monster with six arms. Its heads became the main gate, its intestine an open gutter and its navel a well. When Yung Lo had finished, Peking was a series of walled cities within cities, like a Chinese puzzle, box within box (see map...
...August (as in 1953's severe season) and then recede. Or it may come from behind and keep racing ahead into late September-as happened in 1952, one of the two worst polio years in U.S. history. Then, too, the disease usually plays hopscotch across the map. One year it will be most prevalent in the northern Midwest, only to hit the Northeast or the Pacific Coast with special force the next.

Arriving in Chicago, Tourist Molotov was greeted by a band of grim-faced hecklers, mostly Baltic refugees. A postal employee was spotted at the depot carrying a shotgun...
...retired chemical engineer-schoolteacher organized a class to teach the ladies how to make their own cosmetics ("as good as any you can buy and a lot cheaper"). A retired geologist spent his time producing an elaborate map of the estate and learning to refinish furniture...
