如果台湾没有李敖…… 何飞鹏 十几岁年轻的时候，没有机会认识李敖，只能偷偷地读他写的《传统下的独白》，感觉李敖似乎颠覆了所有学校中所受的教育。 那时候所知的李敖，是个一袭长袍、特立独行的台大学生，学问足以与大师胡适往来、论战，无疑是个梦中的未来英雄。 这个未来英雄，并没有按照我年轻时的想像，成为体制内认同的当代大师、思想家、文豪或者史学家（年轻的我，对体制有高度敬畏，当然李敖是体制外的英雄毋庸置疑），接下来只有断断续续的印象：与《文星》纠缠不断的官司，退出江湖卖牛肉面去，成为思想犯坐牢，出狱后复出江湖，与名女人胡茵梦结婚、离婚，继续放言高论，与当权者斗争，办《求是报》，以一人之力办报，其文字的产量，最令身为记者的我由衷佩服。 这些远观（无缘认识前）的片断，串成了对李敖的想像——-个当代具有“特异功能...
1.恋爱简历 上大学时，我曾经不知不觉地谈上了恋爱，其实无所谓爱情，现在看来倒象是初恋实习。 大学生活的平面是建立在寝室－食堂－教室－图书馆这几个点上，的确有点单调，加上我天性单纯，品行善良，好助人为乐，常常替她买饭，替她占图书馆的座位，与其他女同学相比，与她看电影和跳舞次数更多一点，这些都非常合符校园生活的公式：同学友情＋频繁接触＝校园恋情。其实，我与她除了形式上象恋爱之外，内容几乎什么也没有。 她与我同系不同班，认识她时也不是一见钟情。听大课时，我总带一本与课程无关的书去看，走神太多，怕过不了关，一次她正好坐在我的身旁，我陪个小心，借抄她工整之极的课堂笔记，于是就认识了她。为感谢她的笔记，我请她看外国电影，她欣然而来，就这么认识了。 我那时真不知道恋爱是怎么一回事，同学情长，在一起时间长了，就显得亲切，既亲切话也就说得多，话说得多，不就是象恋爱一样...
以信代序寿昌兄：我来Ｎ海岸快半个月了。初来时是很好的晴天，后来便每天下雨，一直下到今天了。下宿的庭中有一株大梧桐树，墙外又有一道清溪，更深夜静，听听雨打梧桐声，溪水潺潺声，颇能在我的精神上加了些沉静的绿色，这是可以告慰的。但是我的心境并没有因此而平静，我的麻木状态也并没有因此而稍减，目前所能告诉你的也不是什么好消息，你假使是同情我的呢，或者会替我抱悲观。我在奉天时，就想回上海之后把我近来的情形和你谈谈，到了上海，你是那么忙，我又是那么懒，住了一个月，也竟没有谈过什么话——怪来怪去也只能怪我自己，去年和你同住得那么久，也并没有谈些什么话，我这种不喜欢说话的脾气终是自己觉得最不痛快的。从前的事都是已经过去的了！自从去年发秋风的时候起，我的精神就一天一天消沉下去，委顿在不可名状的疲倦当中。虽则在新少年公司的和暖的冬日底下，以及许多朋友聚谈时还有些能够振作起来的样子，其...
The Life and Perambulations of a Mouseby Dorothy KilnerINTRODUCTIONDuring a remarkably severe winter, when a prodigious fall of snow confined everybody to their habitations, who were happy enough to have one to shelter them from the inclemency of the season, and were hot obliged by business to expose themselves to its rigour, I was on a visit to Meadow Hall; where had assembled likewise a large party of young folk, who all seemed, by their harmony and good humour, to strive who should the most contribute to render pleasant that confinement which we were all equally obliged to share. Nor were those further advanced in life less anxious to contribute to the general satisfaction and entertainment.After the more serious employment of reading each morning was conclud...

败絮藏金玉 作者：酥油饼 楔子 就在江湖中大多数人或自愿或被迫地参加辉煌门左右两大护法的夫夫喜宴之时，远在千里的魔教却遭受了一场惊天浩劫。 以雪衣侯为首的五万大军以雷霆之势清剿睥睨山。不过六个时辰，魔教总部便被血洗一空。 明尊和三位魔教长老因为正在赶去辉煌门的路上而逃过一劫。 但，这仅仅只是开始。 朝廷随后便开始向魔教在各地的分坛和商行下手。 但是各地分坛和商行仿佛早有默契，各个人去楼空，连账簿和钱财都被转移至他处，朝廷搜寻无果，只能暂时封铺了事。 一个月后，雪衣侯回京述职，得圣上钦点为诛魔大将军，全力缉拿魔教余党。 于是，一场更大更急更寒冷的暴风雪在江湖上刮起！ 背叛有理（一） 岁末，霜寒，刺骨。 冯古道缩在屋檐下，拼命地想将身上这件半新不旧的大氅扯拢些，好遮挡对穿整条弄堂的冷风。 雪衣侯府的下人冷眼看着他在那里又蹦又跳又跺脚，...
娃哈哈算不算一个奇迹？很多人对于娃哈哈的了解，来自于娃哈哈的产品，因为在中国任何一个最角落的鸡手小店，你都可能发现娃哈哈的产品。很多人理解的娃哈哈领导人宗庆后，是一个带有神秘色彩的神话人物。可口可乐前总裁杜达夫曾说过：将来可口可乐在中国惟一的对手可能是来自娃哈哈的挑战。宗庆后运筹娃哈哈的方法被人们称为“宗式兵法”，而娃哈哈的企业运作模式又被人们称为“娃哈哈模式”。“娃哈哈模式”在一个神话破灭的时代创造了一个企业崛起的新神话，其核心的价值理念和企业方法，是了解中国市场现状的一把钥匙。站在思想者的角度看娃哈哈，看宗庆后，你就会获得更多对于中国市场和中国企业的感悟，而作为一个中国市场中的参与者，宗庆后以及他所带领的娃哈哈，是站在跨国公司同一个台阶上，用中国的和世界上的眼光来看待自己以及自己的竞争对手。一个能和可口可乐较量的企业，一定有它的独到之处和别人所没发现的秘密。...

石头记大观园全景读《红楼梦》随笔（一）《红楼梦》的传统性（图）脊埂峰僧道谈顽石 空空道说石头起源《红楼梦》开首说补天顽石高十二丈，方二十四丈，共有三万六千五百零一块，原合十二月，二十四气，周天三百六十五度四分度之一，跟《西游记》第一回说花果山仙石有三丈六尺五寸高，二丈四尺开阔，说法略异，观念全同。这点有人已经说过[1]。而且，这块高十二丈、方二十四丈的顽石，既可缩成扇坠一般，又变为鲜明莹洁的美玉，我觉得这就是“天河镇底神珍铁”（金箍棒）塞在孙猴子的耳朵里呵。上边所举自不能全部包括中国古典文学，但《红楼梦》的古代渊源非常深厚且广，已可略见一斑。自然，它不是东拼西凑，抄袭前文，乃融合众家之长，自成一家之言。所以必须跟它的独创性合并地看，才能见它的真面目。若片面地、枝节地只从字句上的痕迹来做比较，依然得不到要领的。读《红楼梦》随笔（一）它的独创性（图）...

Autobiography of a Pocket-Handkerchiefby James Fenimore CoopoerCHAPTER I.Certain moral philosophers, with a due disdain of the flimsy foundationsof human pride, have shown that every man is equally descended from amillion of ancestors, within a given number of generations; therebydemonstrating that no prince exists who does not participate in theblood of some beggar, or any beggar who does not share in the bloodof princes. Although favored by a strictly vegetable descent myself, thelaws of nature have not permitted me to escape from the influence ofthis common rule. The earliest accounts I possess of my progenitorsrepresent them as a goodly growth of the Linum Usitatissimum, dividedinto a thousand cotemporaneous plants, singularly well conditioned, and...
