The World Press Freedom Index (WPFI) is an annual ranking of 180 countries compiled and published by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) since 2002 based upon the assessment of the non-governmental organization as well as surveys of professionals around the world, of the countries' press freedom records in the previous year.[2][3][4] It intends to reflect the degree of freedom that journalists, news organizations, and netizens have in each country, and the efforts made by authorities to respect this freedom.[3]
Though Rushdie considered calling his new book “A Knife in the Eye,” a reference to the worst of his injuries, he decided on a single-word title, as sharp and staccato as the object itself. “Knife” can mean many things, he writes. It’s a weapon, of course, and an artistic device in books, movies and paintings. In Rushdie’s book, it’s a metaphor for understanding.

China and Britain both underscore how transparency, however painful
in the moment, allows democracy, business and the citizenry to thrive in
the long run.

北京的出版社2011再版Lord Denning系列書 (除這本之外) 1984年的Landmarks in the Law by Lord Denning, Alfred Thompson Dennin Denning, Bar
Written in Lord Denning's familiar vivid, staccato style, Landmarks in the Law discusses cases and characters whose names will be known to all readers, grouped together under headings such as High Treason, Freedom of the Press, and Murder. Thus, for example, the chapter on High Treason tells the stories of Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Roger Casement, and William Joyce--three very different cases, the first occurring nearly 350 years before the last, but each one raising constitutional issues of the greatest importance.
When was the first Boston Marathon? The Boston Marathon — the world's oldest annual marathon — was first run on Patriot's Day, April 19, 1897. It was originally measured at 24.8 mi/40 km, based on the legendary run of the Greek foot soldier Pheidippides from Marathon to Athens. The distance was changed in 1908 to 26 miles, 385 yards (41.8 km, 352 m), when King Edward VII and his queen asked that the Olympic Marathon begin at Windsor Castle, so the royals could view the start. The Boston Marathon takes place annually, on the third Monday in April. It begins in Hopkinton and winds through eight cities and towns, finishing in Boston's Back Bay. John A. Kelley started a record 61 Boston Marathons and finished 58, winning twice. A statue honoring him stands at the foot of "Heartbreak Hill," one of the landmarks along the route.
"If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon." — Emil Zátopek
