发帖数: 1776 | 2 研究美国近代民权运动发展史，或研究美国穆斯林历史者，不可能不研究既具有代表性
也具有争议性的马尔科姆.艾克斯。
马尔科姆.艾克斯出身草莽，自小备受种族歧视之苦。根据他自己的《马尔科姆.艾克
斯自传(The Autobiography of Malcolm X)》说，他的父亲艾尔.里图(Earl Little)与
叔父都是被美国三K党(Ku Klux Klan)谋杀致死的，母亲路易莎.诺顿(Louisa Norton)被
吓成了神经病。
在马尔科姆.艾克斯死后才出版的《马尔科姆.艾克斯自传》是美国近代民权运动史上
的大事。该书由马尔科姆.艾克斯口述，亚历克斯.哈利(Alex Haley)执笔。受了马尔科
姆.艾克斯精神感染，亚历克斯.哈利在为马尔科姆.艾克斯写完了这本口述自传后，又以
自己的家族历史为背景，写出了另外一本振经全球的经典巨著《根(Roots)》。
《根》共卖出了超过六百五十万册，翻译成三十种文字，改编最高成收视率的电视连
续剧，得奖无数。《马尔科姆.艾克斯自传》出版后，受到了美国主流社会的器重和肯定
，《时报杂志(Time)》高价评论该书是〝本世纪十本最重... 阅读全帖 |

The way led along upon what had once been the embankment of a railroad. But
no train had run upon it for many years. The forest on either side swelled
up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of
trees and bushes. The trail was as narrow as a man's body, and was no more
than a wild-animal runway.
Occasionally, a piece of rusty iron, showing through the forest-mold,
advertised that the rail and the ties still remained. In one place, a ten-

When Parents Are Too Toxic to Tolerate
By RICHARD A. FRIEDMAN, M.D.
You can divorce an abusive spouse. You can call it quits if your lover
mistreats you. But what can you do if the source of your misery is your own
parent?
Granted, no parent is perfect. And whining about parental failure, real or
not, is practically an American pastime that keeps the therapeutic community
dutifully employed.
But just as there are ordinary good-enough parents w... 阅读全帖 |

occasions where God could have intervened to turn events to good and chose
not to. He could, for example, have obliterated Satan and the rebel angels

escape, so that they could never have escaped to lead humanity into

, burdening them with the impossible task of explaining how so much evil and

this problem, all of which are as imaginative as they are insufficient. But

彻尾的“大盗”。它从邻居家偷走了上百件东西，包括毛巾、三角内裤、手套、袜子、
拖鞋等。邻居们也因此称它为“坏蛋丹尼斯”(Denis the Menace)。
“丹尼斯”和它偷的东西
“丹尼斯”偷的东西已经装满了2个大箱子
“丹尼斯”的主人称，她在“丹尼斯”6个月大的时候开始把它放到屋外。但1周后，监
视器就拍摄到了“丹尼斯”偷东西的画面。之后，“丹尼斯”便不断从邻居家的花园里
叼东西回来。它偷的东西也是种类繁多，包括男士运动短裤、1双鞋、1件羊毛衫、1个
狗咬玩具、好几十双袜子、1张麂皮、7块汽车海面、1个毛绒玩具等等。
虽然对“丹尼斯”偷东西的习惯感到非常尴尬，但“丹尼斯”的主人并不打算让它改掉
这个习惯。她把“丹尼斯”偷回来的东西装进了2个大箱子，等待失主们认领。

Possibly a price mistake as I see the other individual seasons are price at

$9.99 for the individual seasons isn't a bad price either.
These are for the STREAMING option and NOT the DVD disc versions.
