Zhang Shoudong, Live for Truth and Love
对于我,爱意味着耐心的守候。因为要错过所有的机会,才能遇到你的唯一。对于为寻求真理而读书和为砥砺生命而恋爱,概莫能外。
——张守东《为了真理和爱而生活》

Quote of the day: from a Seventh Circuit Opinion
Judge Evans:
If a 42-year-old man wants to change his identity and fly through the remainder of his life under the radar screen with a fake name, what kind of name would he be likely to select? Certainly he would want a common name, like Walker, Washington, White, or Williams,* to name just a few that begin with the same letter. But Donald Calloway, the appellant in this federal habeas case, did not follow the conventional wisdom: his newly adopted name (in 1979) was Robert Ducks. Twenty two years later, after “Robert Ducks” was indicted in federal court, “Donald Calloway” came back from the past. And it was quite a past.
* How popular are these four names? Well, the National Football League alone has 11 players named either White or Walker on current team rosters. A dozen players are named Washington.And there are 39 players with “Williams” on the back of their jerseys each weekend. See NFL.com.
