Years of wandering as a merchant seaman, a marriage in Paris, and a minor novel (Ultramarine, a Melville-and-blue-water affair) lay ahead before he fetched up in Mexico on a midget paternal subsidy...
...make Soviet history more objective and less like a Communist morality play. If anything, Salvo is likely to accelerate that trend. At least it provoked Red Star, the army newspaper, to demand still greater realism in depicting Soviet historical figures. Salvo, complained the paper, portrayed Trotsky as "a midget, whose actions were downright silly. Yet how could such a midget mislead the people?"

...clue comes when a shaggy midget makes his appearance during the cafe scene. Toulouse Latrec was not selected randomly, but rather takes his place as the true spiritual father of Pussycat.

The tractors are usually less than 4 ft. high, have 6-to 10-h.p. motors, move...
Japanese cars range from three-wheel $650 midget cars and the $1,020 beetle-shaped Carol 360, made by Toyo Kogyo, to Nissan's squat, six-passenger, $3,750 Cedric, named after a character in the novel Little Lord Fauntleroy. The bestseller: Nissan's $1,566 Bluebird, named for "the bluebird of happiness" m the Maurice Maeterlinck play. Though these cars are rugged, functional and economical, they cannot compete in styling and roominess with most U.S. and European makes, which will be nearer to the Japanese prices when the tariffs are reduced...
