The Common Lawby Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.LECTURE I.EARLY FORMS OF LIABILITY.[1] The object of this book is to present a general view of the Common Law. To accomplish the task, other tools are needed besides logic. It is something to show that the consistency of a system requires a particular result, but it is not all. The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience. The felt necessities of the time, the prevalent moral and political theories, intuitions of public policy, avowed
第一部分尘封旧忆北新桥(1)-(图) 谈到吴裕泰茶庄,不能不让人怀想起旧日的北新桥。以往人们总认为老北京的商业区是大栅栏、王府井,却在不自觉间忽略了北新桥的重要商业地位。老北京有种说法:“东富西贵南贱北贫。”位于东北城的北新桥,与聚集了众多王公贵族和有钱人豪门宅府的王府井、大栅栏不同,这里的大富大贵人家不多,多是小家小户。不过,这一点也影响不到北新桥的繁华和活力。相反,这个地处社会中下层、贴近普通老百姓的商业区却是异常的热闹繁华,也许在某种意义上更能代表老北京的风貌。 声色流动北新桥 20世纪初期,北洋政府为了解决北京城内的交通问题,1921年开始筹建北京电车公司。电车公司由官、商合办,各自50%的股份。到了1924年12 月,北京通了有轨电车。当时只有四条线路:1路——从天桥至西直门,2路——从天桥至北新桥,3路——从东四到西四,4路——从太平仓(今平安里外)到北新桥。就在这...

《叶卡捷琳娜》童年厄运(1)童年厄运她压根就不是俄罗斯人。来俄罗斯之前,她的原名也不叫叶卡捷琳娜。这个俄罗斯未来的叶卡捷琳娜二世出生于1729年4月21日。当她呱呱坠地时,她实际上是一个默默无闻、微不足道的德国安哈尔特-采尔布斯特的什切青城堡里的小公主。因此,尽管她后来有幸成为俄国大权独揽的凯瑟琳大帝,但她原本确实是一个地地道道的德国人。那是一个令她父母异常失望和伤感的日子,她父母本来朝思暮想地盼望能生一个男孩,可她母亲历尽万般痛苦后生下来的却是一个瘦弱的女婴。在当时还属于普鲁士管辖的波美拉尼亚的什切青小城镇,这个女婴降临人世后,失望的父母机械地履行权利和义务,送给她第一个名字索菲亚?奥古斯特?腓特烈西亚。...

琼瑶第一部 时间:一九六二年夏地点:台北 是非成败转头空,青山依旧在,几度夕阳红! 因甚斜阳留不住?翻做一天丝雨!1 黄昏。夕阳斜斜的射在那油漆斑驳的窗棂上,霞光透过了玻璃不全的窗子,染红了那已洗成灰白色的蓝布窗帘。树影在窗帘上来来回回的摆动、摇曳。时而朦胧,时而清晰,又时而疏落,时而浓密,像一张张活动而变幻的图案画片。 梦竹咬着铅笔上的橡皮头,无意识的凝视着窗帘上摇摇晃晃的黑影。然后,又低下头望着桌上摊开的家用帐本:伙食、燃料、调味品、水电、零用、教育、医药、娱乐……预算中的项目似乎没有一样可以减少,而这些零零碎碎的项目加起来竟变成了那么庞大的一个数字,收支的差额仿佛一个月比一个月大。紧咬着铅笔,她呆呆的瞪着帐簿出神,如何能使收支平衡?这似乎是一项最难的学问,做了将近二十年的主妇,她仍然无法让支出不超过预算。呆坐了半天,她毅然的握着铅笔,下决心似的把...
