Like Chih Hang, Abbot Soong was sealed after death in stone urns, placed one on another. But he did not stay there any five years. After 76 days of a heat wave and the covering urn was removed, Soong was found to be in good condition. But one of the incense sticks that propped up his head had snapped (children playing in the cloister had bumped against the urns), and so now his head rests on his shoulder as if in sleep...

In 1954 she survived the loyal ecstasy of a million Australians in Sydney, who broke police lines eight times to surround the royal motorcade, shouting "Good on you, Liz and Phil!" She went to Ceylon even though nationalist agitators collected 150,000 signatures asking her to stay away.

...what he thought were imperialism's decadent gifts to Asia. Cracking down on Singapore s boisterous seamy side, Lee banned jukeboxes, closed down some 1,200 pinball machines, and ordered the Singapore radio to stop broadcasting rock 'n' roll. Later he ruled that the jukeboxes could stay if they stuck to the classics-Beethoven and Chopin, for example. Meanwhile, police cleared the newsstands of pornography, padlocked eight girlie-magazine publishers and swooped through bars, sending B-girls home.
