"Hand workers gather poppy sap in the plain of the Hari River: Although the narcotic has been produced in America and Europe, the cost of collecting the juice there is prohibitive. As medicine it spread across Asia with Islam, but by 1729 the Emperor Yung Cheng had prohibited the smoking of it. Seizure and burning of $10,000,000 worth of it by the Chinese at Canton brought on the Opium War. Few Afghanistan natives are addicts of the pipe, and Turkey is as prominent in the control of the drug as in the culture of the plant."

"A fierce gravity energizes Norway, a force that seems as palpable as wind or fire or ice. You can feel it as you drive from Bergen, on a road chiseled into sheer cliffsides, to the Sogne Fjord. You can feel it especially in spring, when melting snowfields become torrential streams that thunder into waterfalls and the water in the deep ragged ocean inlets seems to pull, as if the gravity had bottomed out and pivoted to the horizontal. Suddenly it's clear why generati##被过滤## of Norwegians have found release—and relief—on the broad, open sea.
