塞林格作品新封面
塞林格肯定是一个奇人，其中一奇是他对自己作品的封面设计要求极为苛刻，不过他作品的（美国版）封面却多不好看，比如代表作 The Catcher in the Rye 的封面，我就无论如何喜欢不起来：
不知道是不是由于某些封面设计不佳的原因，塞先生才对封面变得苛刻起来。不过，丑陋的局面即将改变了，《卫报》报道，塞林格作品将以新的系列封面重印上市：
Before his death, JD Salinger’s publisher, Hamish Hamilton, worked with him to produce jackets for reissues of his books (originally planned for June, they are now due out next month). …
Simon Prosser, publishing director, Hamish Hamilton: “There are strict rules about JD Salinger’s covers. The only copy allowed on the books, back or front, is the author name and the title. Nothing else at all: no quotes, no cover blurb, no biography. We’re not really sure why this is, but it gives you definite guidelines. Last year we decided it was probably time to re-design the covers, and we wanted a unique typeface that stood out. We commissioned Seb Lester, the highly regarded type designer, to hand-draw a font; that font, on the cover of these re-issues, is a one-off and is known in-house here at Hamish Hamilton as the ‘Salinger’.”
这套新封面是 Seb Lester 设计的，相当赏心悦目：

This collection, originally published as Nine Stories in the US in 1953, contains some of Salinger’s greatest short fiction, including the title story (first published in the New Yorker in 1950), in which an army sergeant recalls his meeting with a young girl before he was sent to war, and A Perfect Day for Bananafish, the first of Salinger’s stories of the Glass family.
奥斯丁·萨拉特等编《法律与人文导论》[Law and the Humanities: An Introduction]
Law and the Humanities: An Introduction, edited by Austin Sarat, Matthew Anderson, Cathrine O. Frank, Cambridge University Press 2009.
Book Description
Law and the Humanities: An Introduction brings together a distinguished group of scholars from law schools and from an array of the disciplines in the humanities. Contributors come from the United States and abroad in recognition of the global reach of this field. This book is, at one and the same time, a stock-taking of different national traditions and of the various modes and subjects of law and humanities scholarship. It is also an effort to chart future directions for the field. By reviewing and analyzing existing scholarship and providing thematic content and distinctive arguments, it offers to its readers both a resource and a provocation. Thus, Law and the Humanities marks the maturation of this “law and” enterprise and will spur its further development.

苏力：我和你深深嵌在这个世界之中
——从戴安娜之死说起
一切都四散了，再也保不住中心……
——叶芝《基督重临》
1997年8月30日午夜，备受公众和传媒(或者应改为传媒和公众？这是一个问题)关注的英国王妃戴安娜魂断巴黎；[1]一个星期之后，英国举行了据称是继丘吉尔之后20世纪最隆重的葬礼。备享哀荣之后，戴安娜的灵魂将得到安息。然而她身后的这个世界却仍为她和她的死不安，以至于远在东方的《天涯》杂志为此要编发一个专题，以至于我这个只能算知道戴安娜名字的法律教授也居然开“机”，而不是提笔，为她的死写下这篇并不仅仅关涉法律的短文。
一
许多人将戴安娜之死归罪于传媒；戴安娜之兄查尔斯·斯潘塞更明确指责报界手上有戴安娜的血。但是，这种情绪化语言不应影响我们对这一不幸事件本身的考察，以至于走进了语言构建的迷宫。只要仔细看一看有关报道，就会发现，即使是那几位追逐戴安娜的摄影记者，也没有造成戴安娜的死亡，最多只是引发戴安娜死亡的因素之一。司机体内的过度酒精(超过“正常”范围三倍多)，超高速行车(时速160公里)，以及死者未系安全带(唯一系了安全带的保镖活了下来)，我想，如果不为感情迷惑，任何人都可以判断，这些才是造成车毁人亡的真正的和最根本的原因。酒后驾车和不系安全带与“狗仔队”的追踪毫无关系，却为法律甚或现代公共道德所不容；高速行车也许与试图摆脱记者有关，但这也不足以构成在市区违章超高速行车的一个充分理由或借口；毕竟，可厌的狗仔队的亮闪闪镜头并不是匪徒的黑洞洞枪口。因此，就戴安娜之死而言，我认为，承担主要责任的应当是酗酒的司机，以及要求或至少默许了(对于这一点，我们也许永远无法知晓)高速行车的多迪和戴安娜。说记者杀死了戴安娜，如果不是非常不公平，那也是一种修辞。事实上，法国警方也仅仅宣布对这些记者是否构成“非故意杀人”或“见死不救”进行调查，至于能否提出指控，即使提出指控后能否最后认定，都还是问题。如果事实真的大致如新闻报道所言(我的判断还是将不幸地取决于传媒)，那么，我敢预言，对这些记者将不了了之；他们最多只会受到一些象征性的处罚。[2]
我并不试图为这几位摄影记者开脱责任。就这一事件而言，他们确有“责任”。他们的令戴安娜讨厌但难以逃避和躲藏的镜头；车祸发生后他们没有首先救人(尽管这仍并不一定是他们的法律责任，而只是作为一个普通人的道德责任，因此不是强制性的)，却抢着拍摄可供发表赚钱的照片；他们甚至可能妨碍了救援人员的及时救助；这些也许都是他们应承担的责任，甚至应当受到某种行政和/或职业的惩处。但这都不是对戴安娜之死的法律责任。 » 继续阅读 苏力：我和你深深嵌在这个世界之中 全文
波斯纳、桑斯坦（编）《法律与幸福》（Law and Happiness）
Law and Happiness, edited by Eric A. Posner and Cass R. Sunstein, University of Chicago Press 2010.
Product Description
Since the earliest days of philosophy, thinkers have debated the meaning of the term happiness and the nature of the good life. But it is only in recent years that the study of happiness – or ‘hedonics’ – has developed into a formal field of inquiry, cutting across a broad range of disciplines and offering insights into a variety of crucial questions of law and public policy. Law and Happiness brings together the best and most influential thinkers in the field to explore the question of what happiness is – and what factors can be demonstrated to increase or decrease it. Martha C. Nussbaum offers an account of the way that hedonics can productively be applied to psychology; Cass R. Sunstein considers the unexpected relationship between happiness and health problems; Matthew Adler and Eric A. Posner view hedonics through the lens of cost-benefit analysis; David A. Weisbach considers the relationship between happiness and taxation; Mark A. Cohen examines the role that crime – and fear of crime – can play in people’s assessment of their happiness; and, other distinguished contributors take similarly innovative approaches to the topic of happiness. The result is a kaleidoscopic overview of this increasingly prominent field, offering surprising new perspectives and incisive analyses that will have profound implications for the law and our lives. » 继续阅读 波斯纳、桑斯坦（编）《法律与幸福》（Law and Happiness） 全文
