...scenario is chilling. China's ethnic minorities, which occupy some 60% of the nation's territory, want to break away from Peking. The inhabitants of Inner Mongolia yearn to unite with the Mongolian People's Republic and the Turkic peoples of Sinkiang with their cousins in Soviet Central Asia. "An exchange of blows," as the author puts it, "may start at any moment." When that happens, hundreds of thousands of "volunteers" on the Soviet side of the Chinese frontier will "come to the aid of [their] brothers in blood and in faith," and the Soviet authorities will...

...Child's The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, "an acquaintance with a few local seals, and a series of very striking dreams" that provide Bok with images of burnt skies and a world ruled by wind. He seasons his shanties with Gaelic and Eskimo and has attempted a Mongolian tune now and again too. "I don't sing anything I don't understand," Bok says.
