帝王化的总统:美国是否正在背弃自己的理想?2004年11月2日,布什将面临美国人民对他的公决。不管他是否能够连任,他执政这4年都是让人难以忘怀的。他来自主张限制联邦政府的共和党保守主义传统,却大幅度扩张了政府的规模和权力。他是以少数票上台的弱势总统,行使权力却如世界之君,独断专行,毫不妥协,使总统的职位帝王化。他这4年,对美国的总统政治提出了严重的挑战:总统的权力,是否越来越接近君主的权力?这样的权力,是否正在使美国背弃自己的理想?布什:基督教保守主义的“真命天子”伊拉克战争,就是布什把总统权力转化为君主权力的一个最典型的后果。现在许多美国人担心陷入伊拉克的泥沼不能自拔,但一些知道内情的政治精英,包括一些共和党精英,则更担心在伊战背后白宫行使权力的方式。前里根的内政顾问、老布什政府的财政部高官巴特利特(Bruce Bartlett)最近私下对记者说:如果11月2日布什获胜,从11月3日开始共...
R. F. Murray: His Poems with a Memoir by Andrew Langby R. F. Murray/Andrew LangR. F. MURRAY1863-1893Much is written about success and failure in the career ofliterature, about the reasons which enable one man to reach thefront, and another to earn his livelihood, while a third, inappearance as likely as either of them, fails and, perhaps, faintsby the way. Mr. R. F. Murray, the author of The Scarlet Gown, wasamong those who do not attain success, in spite of qualities which...

THE PROCESSION OF LIFELife figures itself to me as a festal or funereal procession. Allof us have our places, and are to move onward under the directionof the Chief Marshal. The grand difficulty results from theinvariably mistaken principles on which the deputy marshals seekto arrange this immense concourse of people, so much morenumerous than those that train their interminable length throughstreets and highways in times of political excitement. Their...

┌───────┐└───────┘ 我想告诉你,我不配做你的兄弟 今天遇到朋友的小妹妹,一个22岁清纯高挑的女孩,有着和她哥一样漂亮的大眼睛,只是瘦弱的楚楚可怜。一个帅气的小伙子走在她旁边,两人幸福的牵着手走到我面前:“哥,这是我男朋友。我们下个月结婚,你一定来,带上嫂子,好不好?。”“好好好”,我忙不迭的答应,一边询问又没有什么需要帮忙的事情。真是让人羡慕的一对。 看着他们远去的背影,我想,如果我的朋友还在,那么下个月该有一场多么和美热烈的婚礼;如果我的朋友还在,她妹妹的眼中应该不会有那一抹淡淡的忧伤;如果我的朋友还在,我的生活将还是不是这样……我要为朋友做点什么,虽然他已不在我身边。...
(一)我的确从来没有想到过会以这样的形式复述我对工作、对生活的感受。老实说在以往穿梭而过的日月中几乎没有匀出时间来“感受”,只有仿佛没有尽头的度过。但是任何人都不会没有尽头的,有一个终极等在每一个人的前方,偶尔想到这一点的时候,生命的脆弱和仓促感会像夜幕,像晨雾,袅袅将我覆盖。尽管这样的时候少得屈指可数。所以我最终答应了可能对于很多报纸的读者来说并不需要的这样一种叙说。它对于我来讲,在繁忙疾走的大小事物中每天腾出两个小时在这些文字上,有一种触碰岁月的感觉。我的,已经行走了五十几年的日子。这未必不是一件我急需的事情,当我答应了以后我更加的意识到,我需要这样的梳理。也许在你们(读者)的繁忙中,也需要有一天之后这样看待一下的停顿。因为我们做的事情,归根结底还是为了你们的空余时间更加的“丰富有趣”,你们的想像在我们做出的事情中得以伸展或彻底夭折。无论如何怎么说,我们的时间...
