https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_18


For all his long career and prodigious energy he will always be associated with the phrase “the clash of civilisations”. How well does his argument hold up 24 years after he first penned it?


The author of "The Clash of Civilisations?" was born on April 18th 1972

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_P._Huntington

Samuel Phillips Huntington (April 18, 1927 – December 24, 2008) was an American political scientist, adviser and academic. He spent more than half a century ..


As a consultant to the U.S. Department of State, and in an influential 1968 article in Foreign Affairs, he advocated the concentration of the rural population of South Vietnam, via a strategy of carpet-bombing and defoliating the rural lands and jungles of Vietnam, as a means of isolating the Viet Cong.
If the “direct application of mechanical and conventional power” takes place on such a massive scale as to produce a massive migration from countryside to city, the basic assumptions underlying the Maoist doctrine of revolutionary war no longer operate. The Maoist-inspired rural revolution is undercut by the American-sponsored urban revolution.
— Foreign Affairs, Vol. 46, No. 4 (Jul., 1968), p. 650
In an absent-minded way the United States in Viet Nam may well have stumbled upon the answer to "wars of national liberation." The effective response lies neither in the quest for conventional military victory nor in the esoteric doctrines and gimmicks of counter-insurgency warfare. It is instead forced draft urbanization and modernization which rapidly brings the country in question out of the phase in which a rural revolutionary movement can hope to generate sufficient strength to come to power.
— Foreign Affairs, Vol. 46, No. 4 (Jul., 1968), p. 652
    Huntington wrote that Ukraine might divide along the cultural line between the more Catholic western Ukraine and Orthodox eastern Ukraine:
While a statist approach highlights the possibility of a Russian-Ukrainian war, a civilizational approach minimizes that and instead highlights the possibility of Ukraine splitting in half, a separation which cultural factors would lead one to predict might be more violent than that of Czechoslovakia but far less bloody than that of Yugoslavia.[17]

 書評:福山的《政治秩序與政治衰敗》
DAVID POLANSKY
果不是“時間簡史”(A Brief History of Time)這個詞已經被人用作書籍標題的話,它或許可以用來描述法蘭西斯•福山(Francis Fukuyama)最新作品《政治秩序與政治衰敗》(Political Order and Political Decay)及其前篇《政治秩序的起源》(The Origins of Political Order)。這兩本書橫跨了很漫長的有記錄歷史(以及有記錄之前的歷史),挖掘了一些有關“社會組織起來的基礎規則”的教訓,福山希望以此為其導師塞繆爾•亨廷頓(Samuel Huntington)在1968年出版的政治社會學經典著作《變化社會中的政治秩序》(Political Order in Changing Societies)提供補充。

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President. Now I'm beginning to believe it.
I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with a lot of pleasure.我沒殺過人,不過讀許多人的訃聞時深感大快人心。
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free.

George Henry Lewes (喬治·亨利·劉易斯)是英國19世紀的名家,著作等身。Wikipedia 中他的條目,目前以歐語系為主。
(當然,他的伴侶George Eliot (筆名)的小說,還風行於世,Middlemarch (1871–72)更被BBC評為最重要的英語小說。)




George Henry Lewes/Quotes

Science is the systematic classification of experience.
The only cure for grief is action.
Insincerity is always weakness; sincerity even in error is strength.
We must never assume that which is incapable of proof.
Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed.
Philosophy and Art both render the invisible visible by imagination.
The delusions of self-love cannot be prevented, but intellectual misconceptions as to the means of achieving success may be corrected.
Murder, like talent, seems occasionally to run in families.
Personal experience is the basis of all real Literature.
Science is not addressed to poets.





我們用Google翻譯它們並用人工修改:


科學是對經驗加以系統的分類。

悲痛的唯一治療是行動(作為)。

不真誠總是弱點;真誠,即使犯錯,仍是有力的。

凡無法證明的,就絕不可拿來當假說。

許多天才是慢慢長成的。千年橡樹之美的養成,無法像一根蘆葦般抽長而成。
哲學和藝術都通過想像,讓看不到的變成看得見的。



待整理:
 自愛的妄想不能被阻止,但智力誤解為取得成功的手段進行修正。 謀殺,像人才,偶爾似乎運行在家庭。 個人的經驗是所有真正的文學的基礎。 科學不是寫給詩人。

OccupationPhilosopher, literary, theatre critic
PartnerGeorge Eliot (1819–1880;)
George Henry Lewes (Listeni/ˈlɪs/; 18 April 1817 – 30 November 1878) was an English philosopher and critic of literature and theatre. He became part of the mid-Victorian ferment of ideas which encouraged discussion of Darwinismpositivism, and religious skepticism. However, he is perhaps best known today for having openly lived with Mary Ann Evans, who wrote under the pen-name George Eliot, as soulmates whose life and writings were enriched by their relationship, despite never marrying.

The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.

  F.B.I. Identifies Group Behind Pipeline Hack The attack by DarkSide, a relatively new criminal group believed to have roots in Eastern Europe, exposed the vulnerability of key U.S. infrastructure. This is how the Colonial Pipeline became a vital artery for fuel. The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.  Experts said that  gasoline prices are unlikely to be affected  if the pipeline is back to normal in the next few days. But the incident — the worst cyberattack to date on critical U.S. infrastructure — should serve as a wakeup call to companies about the vulnerabilities they face,  says The Associated Press .  【網絡安全】美國最大汽油管道被黑客攻擊 美國最大汽油和柴油管道系統的Colonial Pipeline在受到網絡攻擊後將其系統下線,令美國東部沿海主要城市加油站的成品油供應面臨威脅。Colonial Pipeline已聘請協力廠商網絡安全公司來調查並聯繫執法部門和其他聯邦機構。黑客對關鍵基礎設施的威脅一直在增長,促使白宮制訂計劃來提高公用事業及其供應商的安全性。
