发帖数: 2299 | 1 He had been a seemingly all-American, clean-cut guy: No criminal record.
Engaged to be married. A job teaching English overseas. In letters to the
judge, loved ones described the 29-year-old Midwesterner as honest and
caring — a good citizen. His fiancee called him "Mr. Patriot."
Such descriptions make the one that culminated in the courtroom all the more
baffling: Glenn Shriver was also a spy recruit for China. He took $70,000
from individuals he knew to be Chinese intelligence officers to try ... 阅读全帖 |

In 1987, a young man walked onto a vast, lantern-festooned stage and, in
less than three minutes, won the hearts of a billion. The stage was the
Spring Festival Gala, a nationally broadcast variety show that makes the
Radio City Christmas Spectacular look homespun. But Fei Xiang, who soon
became the Gala’s main attraction, was no mere Rockette. Fei st... 阅读全帖 |

署同意书，就被硬生生关进大牢。
小孩已经4岁，已经懂事了，这个父亲也不征求孩子的意见，这个年纪上不必要的手术
对孩子的身心造成很大不必要的痛苦。
割包皮本身就是犹太人的恶习。除非因为有医学需要比如包茎之类，否则凭什么把孩子
包皮硬生生割掉？割不割包皮等孩子长大自己决定不行吗？

如果透明的部分已经复杂到普通人无法理解随媒体左右，那么和不透明从本质上也没有
什么区别。
而且“民主”的漂亮外衣使得支持民主一方无需辩论便自动赢得胜利。
我更希望能够通过效果来判断过程。
Ivanka说的一句我很有共鸣，judge my father by his results。
“Politicians ask to be judged by their promises, not their results.”
“I ask you to judge my father by his results,” Ms. Trump told the rapt
crowd in a speech that was equal parts familial praise and a recitation of
his accomplishments. “He is colorblind and gender-neutral.” |

发帖数: 7521 | 6 How America Can Rise Again
Is America going to hell? After a year of economic calamity that many fear has sent us into irreversible decline, the author finds reassurance in the peculiarly American cycle of crisis and renewal, and in the continuing strength of the forces that have made the country great: our university system, our receptiveness to immigration, our culture of innovation. In most significant ways, the U.S. remains the envy of the world. But here’s the alarming problem: our governin... 阅读全帖 |

Bel Kaufman
It was still warm in the late-afternoon sun, and the city noises came
muffled through the trees in the park. She put her book down on the bench,
removed her sunglasses, and sighed contentedly. Morton was reading the
Times Magazine section, one arm flung around her shoulder; their three-year-
old son, Larry, was playing in the sandbox: a faint breeze fanned her hair
softly against her cheek. It was five-thirty of a Sunday afternoon, and the
small playground, tuck... 阅读全帖 |

“He died quietly, the life drained out of him like the liquid from his leg.
The cook promptly butchered him. The leg had made for poor bait. The dead
flesh was too decayed to hold on to the fishing hook; it simply dissolved in
the water. Nothing went to waste with this monster. He cut up everything,
including the sailor’s skin and every inch of his intestines. He even
prepared his genitals. When he had finished with his torso, he moved on to
his arms and shoulders and to his legs. M... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 3199 | 12 Poem by Walter de la Mare (25 April 1873–22 June 1956), who's best known
for his poem "the listeners"
When music sounds, gone is the earth I know,
And all her lovely things even lovelier grow;
Her flowers in vision flame, her forest trees
Lift burdened branches, stilled with ecstasies.
When music sounds, out of the water rise
Naiads whose beauty dims my waking eyes,
Rapt in strange dreams burns each enchanted face,
With solemn echoing stirs their dwelling-place.
When music sounds, all that I was... 阅读全帖 |

Like many of you, Mike Bloomberg was listening with rapt attention as
President Obama laid out his plan for how the banks should run, moving
forward. And, in response, he has some ideas of his own, for Washington.
First off, and this is just a proposal, nothing’s set in stone yet— go
fuck yourselves. Second, you get our prop desks, etc, we take your salaries?
Cool? Would really like to get your thoughts on this one.
