Trump Fires Impeachment Witnesses Gordon Sondland and Alexander Vindman in Post-Acquittal Purge

By PETER BAKER, MAGGIE HABERMAN, DANNY HAKIM and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT

Emboldened by his victory and determined to strike back, the president removed Mr. Sondland as ambassador to the European Union after the White House earlier on Friday dismissed Colonel Vindman.

He has purged everything from his painting except anxieties concerning structure and colour; his struggle is with these alone! Matisse’s War is a minutely researched yet fictional account of Matisse’s life during the years 1939-1945.

Jesse Matthew was found on a beach some 1,300 miles from where he's wanted in the disappearance of missing student Hannah Graham. He had been sought on suspicion of abduction with the intent to defile:http://cnn.it/1Dyt9Gg

Here's Christopher Bailey, the chief creative officer at Burberry, in a corporate video made last year unveiling him as the fashion group's chief executive elect: "We have done a lot of dreaming … We have only just started dreaming."

Amazingly, the film was not a joke – fashion folk really do like to speak like that – but it may turn out that the market starts dreaming about Bailey's sainted predecessor, current boss Angela Ahrendts, who is sauntering off to Apple.

Referring to the violent standoff in Friday's statement, Netanyahu put the blame on the Palestinians.

"The world needs to remember that the Church of the Nativity that is so sacred to Christianity was desecrated in the past by Palestinian terrorists," he said.

Falstaff,The Life of Johnson by Boswell

dissolute Falstaff, Vice, miles gloriosus



Johnson was some time with Beauclerk at his house at Windsor, where he was entertained with experiments in natural philosophy. One Sunday, when the weather was very fine, Beauclerk enticed him, insensibly, to saunter about all the morning. They went into a church-yard, in the time of divine service, and Johnson laid himself down at his ease upon one of the tomb-stones. "Now, Sir, (said Beauclerk) you are like Hogarth's Idle Apprentice." When Johnson got his pension, Beauclerk said to him, in the humourous phrase of Falstaff, "I hope you'll now purge and live cleanly, like a gentleman." The Life of Johnson by Boswell
要了解這脈絡也必須了解Falstaff 是要從戰場脫身要去領賞
出自
莎士比亞 亨利四世上篇 第五幕第四景末
這 purge 雙義 可以是"好好洗澡 潔身"或"悔改"等等
所以朱和梁翻譯各取一義


另外 Boswell說， Johnson的 "No, Sir."類似 Falstaff的
"I deny your major. " 。這多少從脈絡中了解，比較有趣：
major大前題 premiss, proposition 。出自1H4 II.iv.481 [Falstaff to Prince Hal] I deny your major.




數百萬人在史達林的大整肅（Great Purge）中受害，歷史學家認為這是人類歷史最黑暗的政權之一。但在許多人心中，他卻是保衛蘇聯免受納粹侵犯，擁有高度治理效率的民族偉人。今年俄羅斯盛大慶祝「衛國戰爭勝利65周年」，史達林功過再度成為輿論焦點。 在這過程中曾傳出，莫斯科市府要在展覽與裝飾上，出現史達林的姓名與照片，共黨及左翼份子大表歡迎，俄共高層希望人們在這一天「絕口不提史達林時代的錯誤，而把他看成『締造者、思想家和愛國者』」。但人權組織極力反對，認為懸掛這些有史氏肖像的宣傳品，是對暴政受害者的褻瀆。 承辦官員反駁，他們無意為史達林做宣傳，只是擺放歷史照片：「國際社會公認蘇聯人民是勝利者，史達林是國家領導人，這些照片有德黑蘭會議與雅爾達會議，史達林與羅斯福、邱吉爾的會晤畫面，我們能抹黑他的形象嗎？」如何評價史氏向為俄國難解的紛爭。他曾在近年的電視票選歷史英雄中，被高票選為第三名。為史氏政權壓迫行為合理化的歷史書籍也持續問世。
