Proud Boys Charged With Sedition in Capitol Attack

The former leader of the far-right group and four others were indicted for seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 assault.



However, said Mr. Greene, in the “triumphant rightness” of artistic judgment, Sir Carol! changed the ending to have Anna walk scornfully past Holly, appearing to barely notice his confused, unbelieving eyes.

Sir Carol, Mr. Greene added, was “the only director I know with that particular warmth of human sympathy, the extraordinary feeling for the right face for the right part.”

Often the anguish was more personal than political. One woman wrote enclosing a cut-out paper dove holding a flaming heart, bitterly recalling “the fidelity which you promised me and which I have given with all my soul”. Whoever the faithless lover was, he never got the letter.

After repeated clashes on the intersection of the civil and secular, he was tried and convicted of sedition and heresy. Facing banishment back to England, he fled south to Narragansett Bay.
The Case Against Racial Colorblindness
Research by Harvard Business School's Michael I. Norton and colleagues shows that attempting to overcome prejudice by ignoring race is an ineffective strategy that—in many cases—only serves to perpetuate bias.

'Good Housekeeping'
c. 1919
What is the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval? Good Housekeeping magazine has always been a pioneer in consumer advocacy. The first edition was published 125 years ago today, with the mission "to produce and perpetuate perfection as (it) may be obtained in the household." Early in its history, the publishers aimed to protect readers from fraudulent advertising, faulty products, and dangerous goods. From 1902, GH refused to accept ads for products that did not deliver on their promises. In 1909, the magazine established a laboratory and test kitchen and issued a "Tested and Approved" seal for products that performed well. That first month, 21 products appeared on the approved list; within two years the list had grown to nearly 200 items. The "Guaranty Seal" made its debut in 1941, guaranteeing that GH would replace or refund any products from the list that were defective. The Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval became a symbol of quality and dependability.

WASHINGTON — In the fall of 2001, as an anguished nation came to grips with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a slender, soft-spoken economics major named Elizabeth Hanson set out to write her senior thesis at Colby College in Maine. Her question was a timely one: How do the world’s three major faith traditions apply economic principles?

Ms. Hanson’s report, “Faithless Heathens: Scriptural Economics of Judaism, Christianity and Islam,” carried a title far more provocative than its contents, said the professor who advised her. But it may have given a hint of her career to come, as an officer for the Central Intelligence Agency specializing in hunting down Islamic extremists.

The original epigraph preceding the story was from William Shakespeare's As You Like It: "The heathen philosopher, when he had a mind to eat a grape, would open his lips when he put it into his mouth, meaning thereby that grapes were made to eat and lips to open." Poe's final version of the story had a longer epigraph in verse from Les Premiers Traits de l'erudition universelle (The Most Important Characteristics of Universal Wisdom) by Baron Bielfeld.[14]

現在我們要談第412頁的一小段
One Exchange in Boswell has perpetuated the myth about his prose: Johnson utters a terse epigram and immediately translates into Ramblerese.* It was play of mind and may well have been a joke on himself.
以及它的注解和相關的三本翻譯上的「議題」。原注:
*p.412
Ramblerese. Johnson said first:” It has not enough wit to keep it sweet,” and at once rephrased it:” It has not vitality enough to keep it from putrefaction.” The remark referred to the Duke of Buckingham’s The Rehearsal. The anecdote is in Boswell, May 30, 1784.
Jacques Barzun 從1400頁中選出這段來評論是相當有趣而富「洞識力」的:主要是當時Johnson 已75歲,身體很不舒適,隔年即過世。所以Barzun 說這些發言是他的「(自諷)警句」 (epigram)。
