Associated Press
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Dreams of a white Christmas are hanging by a
thread in the North, where unusually mild weather has left the ground bare
in many places — a welcome reprieve for people who don't like shoveling,
but a lump of coal in the stockings of outdoor sports buffs who miss their
winter wonderland.

纽省申诉专员公署最近就省政府于 1998 年颁怖并实施的『警务及公众安全法
』作出检讨。该法令给与警务人员较大的权力，随时可对嫌疑目标、可疑人物截查
搜身，或有权对无故在公共场所纠众聚集而对公众造成不便，或令大众感到被骚扰
、恫吓或内心产生恐慌的人士驱赶，拒绝服从合理指挥人士罚款＄220。任何人士
没有充分理由而身藏刀刃利器一律属于违法，被搜获的器械充公及罚款 $550。
检讨显示，自该法令实施以来，大约每五项搜查个案中，就有一个搜获暗藏利
器的成功例子。卜卡省长最近在一次与『澳洲新报』负责人见面时提到，雪梨都市
规模日渐宏大，人口压力剧增，应付罪案和维持治安的方法不可能像 30 年前那么
简单。他强调在实际执行法令的过程中，尽管还存在著不少不如人意的地方，需要
作进一步调整，但大体尚算成功。
是次纽省申诉专员公署呈交省议会的检讨报告显示一项预料不到的难题，就是
当警务人员成功地截查到可疑人物，将其利器没收充公，并发出罚款通知。问题就
出在罚款这事情上。据报载，发出追缴罚款事情简单，而实际上要等待这些有问题

Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
'For beauty,' I replied.
'And I for truth,--the two are one;
We brethren, are,' he said.
And so, as kinsmen, met a night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names. |

John Harman was sitting at his desk, brooding, when I entered the office
that day.
It had become a common sight, by then, to see him staring out at the Hudson,
head in

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Only this, and nothing more."

Seven segments of Cardan》。卡丹被誉为16世纪的博学者，拥有数学家、物理学家、
医药学家、天文学家、及术士等多个头衔。在他的有生之年，他出版了多达54本着作和
44件手稿，内容涉及了他研究的各个领域。占星警句讲的是星盘分析的一些规则和条文
，按条目的方式列出，分为总论篇、命盘篇、推运篇、医疗篇、择时篇、蚀彗篇、气候
篇、农作篇、实事篇等9部分，论及范围着实广泛。不过，如果以条文的数目来看，命
盘篇是核心部分，共计100条，其它篇的内容相对少很多，可能是与删节有关。
在历史上的顶级占星名家中，还没有Cardan的位置，不知是不是他学识太杂的原因，
很多谈及他的资料均是与数学、人文科学或玄学相关，占星作为玄学，只是他学识中的
一小部分。根据有关资料的判断，占星警句很可能是他汇编成文的，其中有不少条文内
容是值得我们深入思考和借鉴的。

作为移民，也许比这儿生长的美国人有更多的比较。一个感悟是当年《独立宣言》的基
