What are the basic ingredients in chili? Traditional chili, the food that humorist Will Rogers reportedly called "a bowl of blessedness," includes some meat (hence, its full name, chili con carne — chili with meat), chili peppers or chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano and, often, beans. Said to have been first introduced in San Antonio, Texas, in the 17th century, chili is the official state food of the Lone Star State. Texas-style chili has no legumes, though pinto beans are often served on the side. In Texas, where meat was always plentiful, there was no need to supplement the food with beans, but elsewhere chili recipes include different kinds of beans and some even leave the meat out altogether. Today is National Chili Day in America. Celebrate with a "bowl of red." Community and Privacy: Toward a New Architecture of Humanism (Anchor Books) by Serge Chermayeff and Christopher Alexander (1965).此書王錦堂老師有漢譯

     To summarize the authors' intention:the book advocates the development of a Science of Environmental Design to supplement higher purpose, creative ability, and technical skill before it is too late; "Beauty will look after herself," to quote Eric Gill.( Preface 1964)

   Stubbornness in itself, however, is no virtue. Thatcher's achievement lay in having got the big calls right: She saw that there could be no compromise with the prevalent social-democratic consensus, or with the trade-union militants, or with the Soviet Union, or with Gen. Galtieri. Though she showed more subtlety and suppleness on all these matters than most realized at the time, she knew that her opponents would have to be defeated. And so, in the end, they were.    


The God of Small Things received stellar reviews in major American newspapers such as The New York Times (a "dazzling first novel,"^[14] "extraordinary," "at once so morally strenuous and so imaginatively supple"^[15])        cumin
