這感人的故事引發一些聯想：第一次碰到Astérix et Obélix是1978年，我的牛津大學畢業的同學靦腆地說，他們中學學法語從他倆的漫畫故事開始。我當時有地利之便，讀了幾本......沒想到作者87歲了.....沒錯，一息尚存，人都會做他的天職 (睡前翻Matisse:Father & Son By John Russell，知道Henry Matisse在臨終前一天，仍跟"親人"要紙和筆，為她畫像......)，愛他的祖國。

今天讀到某報導，說[戰爭與和平]出刊150周年。想溫習一下四十七年讀過此書漢譯本的滋味......

我們附近有一小攤，賣3道義大利麵(各100元)。某次，顧客都是小學生(共3名)，聽老外廚師跟他們講簡單英文，這情形，絕對是1960年代初的我所能想像的。/柯P(柯文哲)今天去北投，訪社區大學和石牌國小。逢下課，小朋友爭相要簽名、握手，差點推擠意外.....竟然2~3點還無睡意 (包括柯P專訪)，咖啡因這樣有效？
麥當勞的冰淇淋10年前1球10元，前年15元，近日17或18元，令人不悅。他們近來新設咖啡-蛋糕等獨立販賣部，服務生的制服不同於其他；咖啡上灑肉桂粉，還可以(就差肉桂調棒)。http://www.cw.com.tw/article/article.action?id=5063616

Where most it promises; and oft it hits,
Where hope is coldest, and despair most shifts."

Plot[edit]

The film opens with a crowded London market (Borough market) being destroyed through an explosive terrorist attack. Farroukh Erdogan is detained as the primary suspect and mastermind of the attack while his two alleged co-conspirators are killed in attempts to apprehend them (unseen to the viewer).
Barristers Martin Rose and Claudia Simmons-Howe are selected by the British Attorney General to represent Farroukh in court after the previous barrister fell off a roof. The two barristers secretly had an affair in the past, which became known to Martin's wife and has caused an alienation from her and their son. Due to the classified nature of the sources in the trial, the trial is split into two divisions. Claudia will represent Farroukh in closed hearings to attempt to determine which classified pieces of information are required for his defense. Martin will represent him in the open trial using information allowed by the closed hearings. The two barristers are not allowed to contact one another. Claudia is watched over by MI5 agent Nazrul Sharma with very strict rules of accessing the classified information. Martin is assisted by friend and lawyer Devlin.
The case quickly turns mysterious for both barristers. Farroukh and his family refuse to talk and simply state he's guilty. Martin and Claudia notice signs that they're secretly being monitored. Investigation into peculiar aspects of Farroukh's past leads Martin to discover that Farroukh was a secret MI5 agent, who had been planted in a terrorist cell in London. It is never revealed whether Farroukh double-crossed MI5 or if the cell double-crossed him, but in either case, the terrorist attack was accidentally funded by MI5. MI5 is willing to kill to keep this secret, and Farroukh and his family are admitting guilt in order to avoid assassination. Meanwhile, a prominent American journalist, Joanna Reece attempts to get close to Martin in order to get information about the trial, but Martin is one step ahead. He eventually gets Joanna's help by sharing information she has on the case (though Reece is mysteriously murdered soon after).
Martin secretly passes this information to Claudia. She brings the information forward in the first closed hearing while questioning high-ranking MI5 agent Melissa. The judge demands that Farroukh's son testify the following day as he was a major informant for MI5 in the case. When Claudia returns home, an assassin attempts to kill her, but she manages to escape. Farroukh's son realizes he is going to be killed and escapes surveillance. Martin, Claudia, and Farroukh's son spend the night evading Melissa and Nazrul, during which Devlin is revealed to be working with MI5. The trio manage to deliver Farroukh's son to the closed hearing where he testifies, but Nazrul kills Farroukh in prison and makes it appear as a suicide, rendering the case closed. The Attorney General threatens Martin in private, saying that he purposefully assigned Martin and Claudia to the case due to knowing their secret history, and if he does not remain quiet about what Martin found during the trial, he'll have the duo of barristers disbarred for their conduct during the trial.
The closing audio of the film reveals the conspiracy is eventually revealed to the public.

It's the scandal of the poetry that 'contingent' features of sound and rhythm systematically infect and affect thought.
