他跟我談許多自行車這行業的故事
可惜我都沒記錄下來  現在找半篇作代表:

 文/劉端翼 2005.03.06  中國時報

「老闆:這台腳踏車好像不錯」,「先生:你的眼光真好,SHIMANO的DURA
ACE全套,加上MAVIC的一級輪組,絕佳的組合,你要的話,今天便宜你,算
九萬五就好了。」

以上這段對話絕不是瞎掰,而是常常在建國南路一帶車店所發生的情況,自
行車早已擺脫代步工具成為一般人的運動休閒器材,售價自然不便宜了。

要怎樣和車店老闆「交觀」,以下是記者整理的實用教戰守則,進了車店就
不會被人當菜鳥海削。

守則一:買車先鎖定目標價。

告訴老闆目標價,才不會被介紹到八、九萬的車。

守則二:根據需要選擇車種。

常常有人到了車店不知道要買細胎(公路車)還是粗胎(登山車)。兩者較
簡單的區別是一個是爬山用(登山車的大齒盤比較小,最大的也只有四十八
齒,但後飛輪的齒比較大,爬山時比較省力)。一個是公路競速用(輪胎 ...

其中又以劉端翼總編功勞最著,不管是雜誌上的專文撰寫,或是在Mobile01的大力瑜揚,皆可說是台灣雲豹953的功臣。在2008這一年當中,就有幾次大規模的團購是由劉大師所促成,無獨有偶的,筆者也是其中之一,有一場「高人」的聚會,還特別在劉大師家進行。箇中緣由,詳見[2009單車組車記]〈「高」人們的聚會-身高188以上的巨人用車測量紀實
 前幾個禮拜他都跟我談台灣新出版的磚塊翻譯小說 譬如說 The Fountainhead 等等Ayn Rand的小說



The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Ayn Rand. It was Rand's first major literary success and brought her fame and financial success. More than 6.5 million copies of the book have been sold worldwide.
The Fountainhead's protagonist, Howard Roark, is an individualistic young architect who chooses to struggle in obscurity rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision. The book follows his battle to practice what the public sees as modern architecture, which he believes to be superior, despite an establishment centered on tradition-worship. How others in the novel relate to Roark demonstrates Rand's various archetypes of human character, all of which are variants between Roark, the author's ideal man of independent-mindedness and integrity, and what she described as the "second-handers". The complex relationships between Roark and the various kinds of individuals who assist or hinder his progress, or both, allow the novel to be at once a romantic drama and a philosophical work. Roark is Rand's embodiment of the human spirit, and his struggle represents the triumph of individualism over collectivism.
The manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers before a young editor, Archibald Ogden, at the Bobbs-Merrill Company risked his job to get it published. Despite mixed reviews from the contemporary media, the book gained a following by word of mouth and became a bestseller. The novel was made into a Hollywood film in 1949. Rand wrote the screenplay, and Gary Cooper played Roark.明

    BBC Reith Lectures

    In May 2012 the BBC announced Niall Ferguson was to present its annual Reith Lectures - a prestigious series of radio lectures which were first broadcast in 1948. Ferguson's series of four lectures titled The Rule of Law and its Enemies examine the role man-made institutions have played in the economic and political spheres.[72]
    In the first lecture, titled The Human Hive, Ferguson argues for greater openness from governments saying they should publish accounts which clearly state all assets and liabilities. Governments, he said, should also follow the lead of business and adopt the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and, above all, generational accounts should be prepared on a regular basis to make absolutely clear the inter-generational implications of current fiscal policy. In the lecture, Ferguson says young voters should be more supportive of government austerity measures if they do not wish to pay further down the line for the profligacy of the baby boomer generation.[73]
    The first lecture was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and The BBC World Service on Tuesday, 19 June 2012. The lectures are also available as a BBC podcast.
