 A visitor looks at a 1993 artwork with five heads of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti (one of the most  copied works of ancient civilization). The plaster effigies, which Fred Wilson painted from oatmeal to dark chocolate, raise controversial questions about the racial identity of ancient Egyptians.

“When somebody dies like that, your father or mother, you’re left with this well of sadness that never really goes away,” Gerrard, 88, said with a soft laugh. “That might be one reason I’m drawn to these death-and-dying songs, these mournful sounds.”

With Calls for Retribution Over Kirk, Some See Rise of a ‘Woke Right’

Conservatives have pressed for consequences for those who make negative comments about Charlie Kirk. But a few on the right say they worry about limits on speech.

柯克事件引發報復呼聲,有些人認為「覺醒右翼」正在崛起

保守派一直敦促對那些對查理·柯克發表負面評論的人追究責任。但一些右派人士表示,他們擔心言論限制。


The anguished calls for retribution have intensified in the week since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, with prominent conservatives waging a campaign to encourage public shaming, firings and the threat of prosecution for those who speak ill of him.

Yet, a few influential supporters of Mr. Kirk are now warning that attacks from the right on political expression could tarnish the legacy of the combative right-wing activist, who was seen as a champion of free speech by his legions of followers.

自從查理柯克遇刺以來的一周內,要求報復的痛苦呼聲愈演愈烈,一些知名保守派人士發起了一場運動,鼓勵對那些說他壞話的人進行公開羞辱、解僱甚至威脅起訴。

然而,柯克先生的一些有影響力的支持者現在警告說,右翼對政治言論的攻擊可能會玷污這位好鬥的右翼活動家的聲譽,他的許多追隨者視他為言論自由的捍衛者。



但这本书不只有论战,也是一部非虚构惊悚作品,一半《中国综合征》(1979年的一部美国惊悚片——编著),一半《碟中谍》(汤姆·克鲁斯主演的动作片系列——编著)。它还是送给那些害怕“觉醒”(wokeness)、害怕女性的保守男孩读者的好礼。与2012年播出的虽然过于吹捧但还是引人入胜的电视系列纪录片美国商业大亨传奇》一样,《芯片战》中充满了毫不掩饰的男子汉气概、理所当然的聪明才智、尽最大可能拿下市场的贪婪,以及世界舞台上的狡诈权力游戏。
