Maybe it's payback for years of supercilious French sneering at the American wine industry. Or maybe Americans just need to lash out to pump themselves up with competitive energy, like football players pounding their lockers in an adrenalin-fueled frenzy. Any way you look at it, American wine partisans have got themselves a punching bag and they call it France.
".....最吸引我目光的竟是她寫到她是蘋果愛好者的那一段。她豔羨各個時期的蘋果電腦，覺得它們總是「美麗而靈敏」的。一旦遇見Mac同好，就會忍不住像「父母發孩子狂一樣」談論起來。
我也是個一見到蘋果，腎上腺素就上升的Mac迷。無法抗拒的原因，除了總是使人驚豔的設計以外，軟體界面的貼心與人性才是主因。黃碧雲用的那兩個字「靈敏」用得傳神。好像被賦予了生命。....."
In the late ’70s, Mrs. Huxley started Children: Our Ultimate Investment, a foundation concerned with the well-being of young people. Her other books include several self-help volumes, the best known of which is “You Are Not the Target” (Farrar, Straus, 1963), which has a foreword by her husband.
The book offers a set of what Mrs. Huxley called recipes for getting through life’s many difficulties. These include punching a tetherball, imagining one’s own funeral and dancing in the nude.

tetherball
There is a version of this game called Swingball, where the two opposing players hold bats, and hit a tennis ball that is connected onto the rope. This is substantially different from Tetherball.
There is an alternate version called "pole", where many people can play. The object of the game is to not hit the pole with the ball. Hovever, you may hit the pole on a serve. You may swing the ball any way you like, but if you hit the pole with the ball, you are out. The last person standing wins.
