This might also make you smile.  I was in Ulaan Bataar in the Republic
on business a couple of years ago, and was staying in one of their
State guest houses.  I had taken a copy of HPB's abridged SD to while
away those long Mongolian nights (there's nothing much to do there,
unless you drink Airak ;-) I decided to tuck it away in the small
cabinet beside the bed, like a time-bomb, waiting for the right person
to find it.

(I am not making this up - as Dave Barry says)

Saw a nice and little-known original Roerich while I was there too -
the King of Shamballah riding out over some yurts on the steppe,
reflecting a tale which was being told below to a circle of listeners.
