...Book of Revelations, "clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." The design, compressed into a few square inches, has a marvelous sweep-the rockfolds echoing the curve of the dragon's tail and repeated in the pink folds of cloth on the woman's gravid belly...
...pink statue of Chairman Mao stands at the university's entrance. Inside the building, the curriculum is being radically reshaped to reflect Mao's doctrine that colleges should combine "education, production and scientific research." In practice, this means that Futan has completely dropped the traditional courses in literature and science and replaced them with such subjects as electronics and optics-and it conducts those classes in its own factories.

His first sexual encounter (at the age of twelve) was with a boy who dropped off a freight train one night. Miller recalled how in later life his best friend telephoned to say that his eldest...
