高見. 家母一介女流, 出嫁從夫. 但於本人少年時, 極力反對家父送本人到左校就讀. 幸甚!幸甚!

sue姐有如此慈母，實乃莫大之福氣。
內子亦大致如此，凡事若不與兒女的益處相抵觸，均可商量；否則必極力維護兒女們的利益，真可謂母愛"爆棚"也。

多謝讚譽.

我母顧然慈愛, 但父親也是一個慈父. 只是當時中國積弱以久, 父親如很多人一樣, 以為"中國出了一個大救星"...

純粹個人感覺:

以前的男人, 如父親, 家兄, 雖然是很大男人, 但都顧家成熟, 有担戴...

工作關係, 接觸很多大專學生, 20 多歲, 心態仍如小童, 慶幸自己出世早...
...

是的，以前甚至到了我們這一代的男人大都如此，顧家、成熟、有担戴，復有責任心，會設身處地為對方著想...不像最近三幾代的人，大多都是十分自我...
來美前幾年，每星期總有三、四天要接觸幾班大專生，當時已覺得其中有些不夠成熟，但整體來說是中規中矩，尚有分寸；半工讀的則成熟得多。近年閱報，知港中部分大專生言行與其身份不相稱，沉迷賭博、炒股、瘋狂簽卡...學業成了次要，成了兼職，何其不堪。
絕對同意：慶幸自己出世早。

親身經歷:

    * 10 多年前教大學, 已經有學生代表告訴我, 9:30 / 10:30 開始的課不上, 因為起不了床; 12:30 開始的課不上, 因為要吃飯; 2:30 p.m. 開始的課不上, 因為飯氣攻心; 5:30 p.m. 下課的不上, 因為交通開始繁忙, 去街不便. 要我想辦法替他們搞掂個上課時間表...
我便一定不予理會，因為只應學生遷就老師.......
這年頭師道早已蕩然無存。
   
* 近來有學生不交功課, 男同事責罵他們, 學生向院長投訴男同事 "好罵他們", 結局是男同事被院長當眾罵無愛心...
院長比男同事更沒有愛心。是非不分，向學生低頭（米飯班主也），根本沒有資格做教育工作。
海藏詩："堆眼觀資信可憎。"此之謂也。   

* 學生考試, 為保他們合格, 老師要派 tips (本人都有這樣做), 但有同事甚至給考試卷+答案
派tips都OK啦。我就給考試範圍，例如試卷是有八題，我就給他們大約十五題的範圍，但不給答案。
如果給考試卷+答案，就是洩漏試題，太過份了，是極大的錯失。對其他班的學生及老師都很不
公平。

個人覺得香港的新生代不成熟, 父母, 社會, 老師, 學校難辭其咎...
晚近人才降格看（平聲），香港教育可悲！

我知道 Natalie 是很多人（特別是我們這一代）的青春夢裡人。
其實這個俄裔演員，你說她很美麗嗎，她又不算特別美麗，不是令你驚艷那一種；說她不漂亮嗎，更絕不可說她不漂亮。幾經思量，加上其獨特氣質、名氣搭夠，不能不選她。

希望老兄不覺得本人滿腹牢騷.

在大學教書的人都對: staff / student consulation meeting, student feedback questionnaire, 聞之色變. 7 年前, 初歷 staff / student consulation meeting, 學生說我迫他們 ...

其實我的牢騷比你更多，士大夫、讀書人的尊嚴已被踐踏得.....之所以毅然劈炮，離開從事了差不多三十年的教育工作崗位，更後悔離開得太遲。

我也並非那方面的專才，自從踏入社會工作後，便很少看戲了。
不過先父年輕時，極喜看大戲，經常跟我們說起以前的名伶佚事而已。

In Memory of Natalie Wood
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5SkhvoV_7c&feature=related

Natalie Wood was born on July 20, 1938, in San Francisco,California, as Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko. Her parents were Russianémigrés who spoke barely comprehensible English, but they changed thefamily name to Gurdin after becoming US citizens. When she was justfour years old, Natalie appeared in her first film, Happy Land(1943). A production company had come to Santa Rosa, California, wherethe Gurdins were living and Natalie won a bit part of a crying littlegirl who had just dropped her ice cream cone. With stars in her eyesfor her daughter, Mrs. Gurdin packed the family and moved south to LosAngeles in the hopes that more films would come her daughter's way.Unfortunately, they did not, at least not at first, and the familycontinued to scrape by much as they had done in Santa Rosa. In 1946,Natalie tested for a role in Tomorrow Is Forever(1946). She was only seven at the time, and flunked the screen test.Natalie's mother convinced the studio heads to give her another test,and this time she was convincing enough that they gave Natalie therole. In 1947's Miracle on 34th Street(1947), she won the hearts of movie patrons around the country as SusanWalker in a film that is considered a Christmas classic to this day.

Nataliestayed very busy as a child actress, appearing in no less than 18 filmsin the late 1940s and early 1950s. Not all the films she appeared inwere successful -- in fact, two of them were the more notorious duds ofthe period. In 1948, Natalie appeared in Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (1948), a film best left undeveloped and in the can. The other was The Silver Chalice (1954), a film so awful that years later co-star Paul Newman, who debuted in the film, took out an ad and apologized for the movie when it came to television. When she was 16, Natalie appeared in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) with James Dean, Sal Mineo, and Dennis Hopper.She played Judy, a rebellious high school student who was moreconcerned with hanging out with the wrong crowd than being a sweetteenager like her contemporaries. The result was her first Academy Award nomination and a defining moment in her development as an adult actress. Her next role was in the classic western film The Searchers (1956) starring John Wayne. The film also featured Natalie's younger sister, Lana Wood.

As Natalie became an adult, her career quickly skyrocketed with roles in classic hits like Gypsy (1962) and West Side Story (1961), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Although she wasn't nominated for Oscars for these films, she did receive nominations for her roles in Splendor in the Grass (1961) and Love with the Proper Stranger (1963). Unfortunately, she didn't win for either of them. After This Property Is Condemned (1966) with Robert Redford,Natalie stayed away from Hollywood for three years to have time forherself and to consider where she was going. When she did return, herstar quality had not diminished a bit, as evidenced by her playingCarol Sanders in the hit Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice(1969). After this, Natalie didn't work as much. She only appeared inthree films during the next nine years. She devoted most of her time toher two young daughters. As the 1970s came to an end, Natalie beganacting more frequently and appeared in a string of films, including thedisaster movie Meteor (1979) opposite Sean Connery and the miniseries film "From Here to Eternity" (1979) with Kim Basinger and William Devane. Natalie's compelling performance in the latter won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 1980.

After making The Last Married Couple in America (1980), Natalie began work on Brainstorm (1983) in 1981 with Christopher Walken.She did not live to see it released. On the night of November 29, 1981,she was sailing on the yacht she shared with her husband, Robert Wagner, and their friend Walken, when Natalie fell in the ocean and drowned. She was 43 years old.

10 多年前, 我侄子本地大學畢業, 英文 / 常識 不及 50 年代出生, 中學程度的家兄....

素質是上升, 還是下降??

20多年前我在香港教書時，已經好明顯覺得學生的中、英文程度在逐年下降。近況如何，我不知道，但相信也不會好到那裡去。

不在其位，不谋其政。亦人微言輕。最緊要做好份內事，得閒就上下網、懷下舊。繼續睇下大美人。

紅遍六、七十年代的美艷性感大明星
Jane Fonda  珍芳達  （1937 -  ）

Jane 曾奪得兩屆影后（71 & 78），並積極投身反越戰運動，成為反戰左派示威激進份子；不斷致力於反戰、人權、環境與婦女權益運動。






1964










Background of Jane Fonda's Anti-War Activities   While American Soldiers were fighting and dying in theVietnam War, Jane Fonda, the daughter of Henry Fonda, was using hermoney and influence at colleges and universities to gather supportto advocate communism and encourage rebellion and anarchy againstthe United States Government.  

On November 21, 1970 she told a University of Michiganaudience of some two thousand students, "If you understood what communism was, youwould hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist." AtDuke University in North Carolina she repeated what she had said in Michigan, adding"I, a socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the wayto communism. " Washington Times July 7, 2000

Jane Fonda began her participation in anti-war activities around1967, allegedly after meeting with Communists while in France and with American citizenswho were revolutionaries.   Her activities included active participation in demonstrations, rallies, radiobroadcasts and plays.  

Jane Fonda also helped in the organization of aproduction group calledthe F.T.A. (F*** The Army).  This group helped to set up coffee housesnear militarybases where they would perform anti-war derogatory-type sketches forthe visitingsoldiers.  The coffee-house sketches were intended to counterpoint theU.S.O. shows, such as BobHope and other U.S.O. sponsored performers whose performancesincreased  morale and gave positive supportto American soldiers.   Some of the F.T.A. coffee house employees wouldmingle with the soldiers to help them to "relax and unwind",while encouraging the soldiers to desert.   Some soldiers alleged thatthey were promised jobs and moneyby the F.T.A.  if they deserted.  

TheVietnamVeterans Against the War Organization received major financial supportfrom Jane Fonda.  Jane Fonda's F.T.A. coffee houses helped inrecruiting soldiers andveterans for the Vietnam Veterans Against The War Organization.   TheVietnam Veterans Against the War Organization membership wasapproximately 7,000 at it's highest.  The Organization's membershipnumber was comparatively low,when you consider that more than 2 1/2 million Americans served duringthe Vietnam  war.   

Jane Fonda personally sought out returning American soldiers from Vietnamto solicit them to publicly speak out against American atrocities against Vietnamese womenand children during her broadcasts.  North Vietnamese officials based in Canadaallegedly coordinated her broadcasts.

In 1972 Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden and others traveled to North Vietnam to give their support to the North Vietnamese's Government. When she returned to the United States, she advised the news media that all of the American Prisoners of Warwere being well treated and were not being tortured.

As the American POWs returned home in 1973, they spoke out aboutthe inhumane treatment and torture they had suffered as prisoners of war.  Theirstories directly contradicted Jane Fonda's earlier statements of 1972.   Some ofthe AmericanPOWs such as Senator John McCain, a former Presidential candidate, stated that he wastortured by his guards for refusing to meet with groups such as Jane Fonda's.  Jane Fonda, inher response to these new allegations, referred to the returning POWs as being "hypocrites and liars."  

The Wall Street Journal (August 3, 1995) published an interview with Bui Tin who served onthe General Staff of the North Vietnam Army and received the unconditional surrender ofSouth Vietnam on April 30, 1975.  During the interview  Mr. Tin was asked if theAmerican antiwar movement was important to Hanoi's victory.  Mr. Tin responded "Itwas essential to our strategy"  referring to the war being fought on twofronts, the Vietnam battlefield and back home in America through the antiwar movement on collegecampuses and in the city streets.  He further stated the North Vietnamese leadership listened to the American eveningnews broadcasts "to follow the growth of the Americanantiwar movement."  

   

   

Visits to Hanoi made by persons such as Jane Fonda,former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and various church ministers "gaveus confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefieldreverses." Mr. Tin surmised that "America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win."  Mr. Tin further advised thatGeneral Vo Nguyen Giap (Commanding General of the North Vietnam Army) said the 1968 TetOffensive was a defeat.  

The military defeat of North Vietnamafter the Tet Offensive of 1968 became a political victory for North Vietnambecause of anti-war demonstrations and the sensationalism of the news media.   TheNorth Vietnamese interpreted the U.S. reaction to these events as the weakeningof America's resolve to win the war.   The North Vietnamese believedthat victory could be theirs,if they stayed their course.

From 1969 until the end of the war, over 20,000 American soldiers lost their lives in a war that the United States did not have the resolve to win.  The sensationalism by the American news media and the anti-war protests following the 1968 Tet Offensive gave hope to Communist North Vietnam, strengthening their belief that their will to succeed was greater than ours.  Instead of seeking a successful resolution at the Paris Peace Conference following the disastrous defeat of the 1968 Tet Offensive, they employed delay tactics as another tool to inflame U.S. politics.  This delaying tactic spurned further anti-war demonstrations.  Those who sensationalized their reporting of the war and those who supported anti-war demonstrations are guilty of giving our enemy hope. Because of their actions, they must share partial responsibility for those 20,000 + Americans deaths.

We won the war on the battlefield but lost it back home on the college campuses and in the city streets.

Americans must realize that there are agents* operating in this Country attempting to undermine our Country and it's leadership through our democratic principles in an effort to achieve a foreign country's goal.  A prime example of such a person during the Vietnam War was Jane Fonda, an admitted Socialist, who blatantly supported North Vietnam. * Agent - Any person who works to obtain the goals of another nation either for money or for their own political beliefs.

A valuable lesson was taught by North Vietnam to other nations on how the United States may be defeated by fighting a two front war - the battlefield and the American home front.  We must be aware of this vulnerability.   

In1975,after the fall of the South Vietnam Government, Jane Fonda returned toHanoi with her newborn son Troy for a celebration in her honor for thework she haddone for North Vietnam.  During the celebration, her son was christenedafter aViet Cong  hero, Nguyen Van Troi.  Troi had attempted to assassinateSecretary of Defense Robert McNamara while on his visit to SouthVietnam in 1963.  The South Vietnam Government executed Troi for this attemptedassassination.

I have heard and readthat some people believe that Jane Fonda was simply young and impressionable.   Jane Fonda was born on December 21, 1937.  She was 34 years old when she made her infamous trip to North Vietnam and was in her 30's when sheparticipated in anti-war demonstrations and rallies.  During this same time period a largenumber of young American soldiers, who had not yet reached their 21st birthday, were fighting the war in Vietnamand were held accountable for all of their actions.  These same young soldiers were, upon their returnto the United States, still not of legal age to vote or buy alcoholic beverages.  Jane Fonda was an adultwhen she made these conscious decisions and actions, and assuch, she is responsible and should be held accountable.  The Vietnam Memorial Wall contains the names of 25,493 Americansoldiers who served their Country and paid the ultimate price for freedom who were underthe age of 21 ( Casualty Statistics).  

Many Veterans would have enjoyed seeing the following mug shot of Jane Fonda taken for her treasonous acts, instead ofthe bogus drug charge which was later dropped.
