2007/7/7 傍晚。我在台大校園遇到一位哲學系的老師。他都叫我學長。
我們談了他兒子剛考完大專（他說，真抱歉，兒子，把你從歐洲帶回來受苦。不過，身為台灣男子漢，不經過這一關，沒辦法自稱是英雄……..）。我們主要談台灣社會科學界的不振和方法論，不過這沒趣……。他的另外一驚人之言是說，台灣過去40年教育部最大的成績，就是把好私立大學，像東海大學，給毀了……
我們到他系上。他放好自行車；上好精密的鎖，剛好哲學系一位著名的王教授走出來。我的學弟對他很恭敬…..王老師說，他晚上六點半在耕莘主持一活動……最妙的是，王老師講一句高深莫測的話：「台灣現在這樣平靜，會不會遭受『天譴』？」…….

What sets Mr. Kaplan’s “Daydream Believers” apart is his emphasis on the Bush administration’s failure to come to terms with a post-cold-war paradigm, which, he argues, left America’s power diminished, rather than enhanced, as former allies, liberated from the specter of the Soviet Union, felt increasingly free to depart from Washington’s directives.

Once more, before the reign was over, it flamed up, embodied in a single individual Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex. The flame was glorious radiant with the colours of antique knighthood and the flashing gallantries of the past; but no substance fed it; flaring wildly, it tossed to and fro in the wind; it was suddenly put out. In the history of Essex , so perplexed in its issues, so desperate in its perturbations, so dreadful in its conclusion, the spectral agony of an abolished world is discernible through the tragic lineaments of a personal disaster.
