Galina---"too awful to say--it is herself, her
Central Asian giantess self, that is the Nameless
Thing she fears."...

Chu Piang [of the] 'classic hustle'.... "the success of British trade policy back during the last Century"..."still famous for the cold purity
of its execustion: bring opium from India, introduce it into China---
howdy Fong, this here's opium, opium, this is Fong---ah, so, me eatee---
no-ho-ho, Fong, you smokee smokee, see? pretty soon Fong's coming back for
more and more, so you create an inelastic demand for the shit, get
China to make it illegal then sucker China into a couple-three
disastrous wars over the right of your merchants to sell opium, which
by now you are describing as sacred. You win, China loses."
