是該追求成功、瞎混度日，還是忠於自己───這是一生的功課。

Kass: Cash for Clunkers Is a Junker
From my perch, there is far too much hyperbole surrounding the cash-for-clunkers program. Not only is the size of the program small ($2 billion-plus) relative to the scale of a $10 trillion domestic economy and a $750 billion-plus fiscal stimulation program but, similar to the euphoria and outsized market response surrounding the second derivative economic recovery (which followed the unwarranted depression in March 2009), the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) program is not an economic sine qua non.

I have been to the one closed once:
鹿港書香門第既然那麼多，到「鹿港小鎮」用餐，即使不放幾套大英百科全書、四書五經或是維基百科，至少也得放些雜誌，以免「三日不讀書，便覺面目可憎，言語乏味」。這是一般臺灣餐廳的基本配備之一。

"It was so intense every day," he said.
In his recently completed book, "Memoirs of a Minyan," of which he is releasing chapters through his Web site Minyanville.com, Harrison writes about a memorable Cramer meltdown after one tech-sector buy, on Brocade Communications, resulted in the hedge fund losing a modest amount of money.
