...Bill and other people too have drawn a picture of it. You can get a picture very soon of the cellular structure of the old Chinese peasant economy grouped within the marketing units, the basic point being that the peasant in his village must be within a day's walk, round trip, from the market. So it has a certain size; it may be 5 miles across, at most 10. So you have a certain number of villages, maybe a dozen, around the market town.

Tall and wickedly curvy in a snug, deep-dish gown, she swoops down into gutsy little growls for Walk On By, soars up into high, hallelujah quavers for What the World Needs Now Is Love...
