"There's just no compassion, ya know?" the 66-year-old diabetic said.
"It was really dirty, they didn't really take care of me," he said. "It was
like I had to wait for another shift to come in another two hours to change
me, and this went on daily."
Dorio says he visited the pediatric unit, where the medically fragile
children lived, about once a week. He says the children there always seemed

Nearly every sector in the semiconductor industry--such as analog, consumer,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Only this, and nothing more."

在上世纪末，如果一个人想预测在未来的十年里美国会遇到的棘手安全问题是什么，那
么可以从国务院办公室里的一位小人物所作的一次无人问津的国会证词开始了解。1999
年10月6日，美国首位国际宗教自由巡回大使Bobert Seiple，在国务院“国际宗教自由
报告”活动中，对众议院国际关系委员会作开幕辞。Seiple言词温和地预测了下一个十
年里美国将会遭遇到的冲突和安全威胁。从事后之明看，他认为宗教自由原因导致严重
暴力的机制，与美国已经发动的战争或即将介入的战争，或者宗教自由是首要关注的国
家安全，完全地吻合。
在Seiple的证词中，他指出缅甸、中国、伊朗、伊拉克和苏丹认可对宗教自由的严重侵
犯，是“需要特别关注的国家”。他还指出，“部长大人应该密切注意位于阿富汗的、
不是政府的塔利班，以及并不是一个国家的塞尔维亚，它们是严重侵犯宗教自由的暴力
势力。”Seiple也指出沙特阿拉伯和北朝鲜是另外两个有可能的严重暴力个国家。在当

You’ve heard of “the 10 days that shook the world” about the Russian Revolution of 1917. Well, the 10 days I spent in today’s China certainly shook me.
你可能听过人们关于俄罗斯1917年革命的《震撼世界的十天》。好吧，在中国度过的十天，同样也震撼了我。

One of those movies that you definitely only need to see once.
9 May 2001 | by Rusty-61 (Trader Vic's) – See all my reviews

Games are the other ones I can think of off the top of my head. If you've

President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and some of his top security officials
were among the 96 people killed in the crash. As the fuselage of the
Soviet-made Tupelov airplane (operated by a Polish airliner) still
smoldered in forest near the city of Smolensk, the grim irony of their
deaths became clear to the stunned Polish nation: Their president had been
on his way to Russia to commemorate the massacre of tens of thousands of
Poles, who had been executed on the order of Soviet dictator |

Abandoning the Middle Class and Betraying the American Dream, paints a grim

Germany orders safety review at nuclear plants
Some 60,000 anti-nuclear protesters took to the streets in Stuttgart – at
least 20,000 more than expected by the organisers – in a grim warning to
the government that the issue of nuclear power could decide the outcome of a
pivotal state election there in two weeks’ time.
They joined hands in a mass protest against the planned extension of nuclear
power generation in Germany until 2036,... 阅读全帖 |
