二十年前，讀金恆鑣導讀 E. O." Wilson 回憶錄《大自然的獵人：博物學家威爾森》，"獨具慧眼的田野生物學家"，很欣賞金先生的功力。
金恆鑣是(森林)生態學領域之專家、生態學學會理事長。我請教他台灣的森林事情 (相對於日本梅原猛的《森林的哲學》。他說，首先要了解日本的林地多是私有地，所以照顧得很好，反之，台灣的森林都是國有地，公務員不會珍惜的.....

這次還談到書要附索引才行。金恆鑣先生考我齊邦媛的
《巨流河》中哪處說到他。我說，不知道呢！他說，這就是台灣書多不做索引的缺點。
送他們走後，我拿出《巨流河》猛翻書：先在"齊邦媛紀事" (592-97)的1995年 (甲午戰爭百年)找到："赴山東威海衛參加兩岸"自然環境與文學"會議"，之後在頁488-90找到相關資訊。
"......但是"他們"和"我們"內心都明白，路是不同的了。....."還不是此時，也不是此地。" ("Not now, not here. ---E. M. Foster
《印度之旅》A Passage to India (1924) 結尾)
歲末，我們想什麼？
昨天經過懷恩堂，"馬槽"兩旁已經是某個"主內弟兄"的安息禮拜之花圈列。
美國的吳學長給我們複述當年戰爭期間聖誕夜，某婦人同時收容美軍與德軍的和解故事......
溫學長說日本最美的書店落腳"統一時代" (究竟在何方？)
報紙說，明年300萬人的健保漲；台北電影票長約4%。
我半夜讀Harry Jaffa 的Crisis of the House Divided(is the standard historiography of the Lincoln-Douglas debates)翻譯本。
游常山兄引導大家讀：胡品清譯的波特萊爾的【巴黎的憂鬱】第七十頁 【髮茨中的半球】
『讓我久久地咬碎妳濃密的,黑色地髮瓣.當我咬妳那富於彈性且具有叛逆性的頭髮時候,我好像在吞食回憶。』
(我們都會想起作者同篇中描寫的種種髮香......)
我去找另一譯本，大同小異：參考英文： Long, long, let me bite your black and heavy tresses. When I gnaw your elastic and rebellious hair I seem to be eating memories.”
http://hcbooks.blogspot.tw/2016/06/baudelaire-selected-poems.html
上面的tresses字眼，或可以當2016年的"字選"：
"When Parisians learned last week that President François Hollande paid his hairdresser more than $10,000 a month to cut his hair, a howl was heard from Montmartre to the Marais. Not since President Bill Clinton shut down two runways in 1993 for a $200 trim aboard Air Force One have the tresses of a head of state been so widely discussed."
http://word-watcher.blogspot.tw/2016/07/perfectionate.html
我們可以從卜少夫先生和金溟若夫人的作品中，了解他門也是沒好好理髮就心神不寧的.....
再想想，"古代"的髮事，真是"史詩"般的....
自從15年前，吾友煥堂帶我作田野，合力寫了《台灣蔬果生活曆》一書之後，我就不吃高山蔬菜，也力行不時不食了。

《關於新聞的新聞-危機中的新聞》這本書裡的一個重要論點。
他們指出近年來美國的媒體界危機日益沉重，媒體負責人為了省錢，為了創造利潤，對新聞的選擇日益偏離嚴肅新聞的傳統，不再重視嚴肅問題的討論與告知，
而以名流的八卦、影歌星和運動明星的私生活、以及各種稀奇古怪的插曲式新聞為主，
新聞的價值日益向娛樂業轉進，這就是新聞界的走向「輕薄」（frivolity）。..............
