Albert Einstein wasn't always the perfect mate
Within a decade his first marriage, to Mileva Maric, a fellow math and science student, grew cold. In 1914, Einstein gave Maric a startling ultimatum, demanding that she "renounce all personal relations with me insofar as they are not completely necessary for social reasons," among other requests.
"That was one of the disappointing things about Einstein is how cold he was when he fell out of love with his first wife," Isaacson says. "But even though it's disappointing, it reminds us that the greatest of men are still made of flesh and blood."
Einstein later married his cousin, Elsa. Maric made out all right financially, as Einstein agreed to give her the substantial sum he earned from his Nobel Prize.

床單綁手腳 牧師強驅魔
桃園牧師劉文復、李明記等五人應邀為李姓婦人做神蹟治療,未料她反抗,五人竟將她強壓地上,還用床單綁住手腳進行禱告驅魔,事後被控妨害自由,桃園地院昨天判五人拘役卅至四十天不等,均可易科罰金。
牧師為人驅魔卻吃上官司,玄奘大學宗教系助理教授楊安仁表示,聖經裡確實有附魔的相關記載,但神職人員為人「驅魔」前,應先經專業評估,如果當事人無意願,更不能強制進行。
署立桃園療養院副院長孫效儒說,宗教儀式治療精神疾病無科學根據,很難說有沒有效果;但患者若有宗教信仰,在醫療和藥物治療下,再藉宗教儀式安撫患者心理,醫界不會排斥。
林口長庚醫院精神科醫師許世杰也說,如果罹患焦慮、憂鬱等心理性精神疾病,透過宗教儀式,有助安撫患者心理;但若罹患精神分裂、妄想等腦部病變導致的精神疾病,使用宗教儀式治療反而會加重病情。
高雄縣基督長老教會二集團教會牧師高順壽說,「驅魔」儀式由來已久;但當事人若無意願,神職人員卻強制進行,這是違反「聖經原則」。他並認為,當事人要有「意願」和「相信」,如此神職人員的祈禱才有力量。

京华烟云
“小說”者,小故事也。 無事可做時,不妨坐下聽聽。 “京華煙雲”對現代中國人的生活,既非維護其完美,亦非揭發其罪惡。 只是敘述當代中國男女如何成長,如何過活,如何愛,如何恨,如何爭吵,如何寬恕,如何受難, 如何享樂,如何養成某些生活習慣,如何形成某些思維方式,尤其是,在此謀事在人、 成事在天的塵世生活裡,如何適應其生活環境而已。 全書受莊子的影響。 取莊周“臭腐化為神奇,神奇化為臭腐”,生死循環之道為宗旨:秋天樹葉衰落之時, 春已開始,起伏循環,天道也。
電視的畫面語言搶走了文學的故事與風景,卻遠遠深入不到文字中那樣細微的情感。文學有文學的別致之處,電視有電視的招人喜歡,只是數一下,如今有誰還願意靜下心來看看林語堂先生的原著?
