 『 The Truman Doctrine (1947) 』» This Day in History In the early stages of the Cold War, US President Harry Truman sought to protect Turkey and Greece from falling under Soviet influence when the UK announced that it could no longer provide them with aid. The Truman Doctrine, which called for the US to "support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures," shifted US foreign policy to a strategy of Soviet containment. How much money did Congress appropriate in response to Truman's message? Discuss 『 Jack Kerouac (1922) 』» Today's Birthday Considered the father of the Beat movement, Jack Kerouac was an American novelist whose semiautobiographical, "spontaneous prose" reflects a frenetic, restless pursuit of new sensation and experience and a disdain for the conventional measures of economic and social success. His best known works are The Subterraneans, The Dharma Bums, and On the Road, which is widely considered the testament of the Beat Generation. Why was Kerouac arrested as an accessory to murder in 1944? Discuss
 『 其实我想我需要一些时间。 』» 『私釀。』
同父母在某一个问题上开始有诸多争执。电话那端的母亲打起了苦情牌。愈加使我无奈和烦躁。常常说不了几句便声嘶力竭起来。彼此都焦虑。却仍不得要领。
我许久许久没有同妈妈大声说过话。最近却反常。急急避开话题。没有耐心继续讨论。她生硬的挂了电话。又令我懊恼不已。定然是伤了心。却又无可奈何。
生活一旦有了变动就容易心浮气躁。这是我的弱点。焦躁击退了冷静。常感觉手足无措。要明白，这世上我最不想违背的人便是父母。这许多年来我也总是一而再的妥协。有时也会想坚持。却总在最后关头败下阵来。她也是料定了结果。任我挣扎也不动容。毕竟是我最爱的人呵。我能怎样？
深知他们的倔强和强硬。面对这两个人我毫无对策。请别逼我迅速催熟如何的决定。
我想。
其实我需要一些独处的时间。
 『 Accentuate Your Waist 』» Women's Health Magazine - It's Good to Be YouA voluminous white tunic may sound like the antithesis to dressing thinner, but it can be surprisingly flattering. "Define your waist with a skinny belt," Verdi says. "And the farther you are from the floor, the skinnier you'll look, so wear platform heels." Remember to harness the power of slimming undergarments—they're the sneakiest look-trim trick of all.

And if you're shy about doughy arms, keep 'em under wraps with a cropped, fitted cardigan.

『 Pressure Cooker 』» Women's Health Magazine - It's Good to Be YouWe'd all love to eat more beans and whole grains, but they take freakin' forever to prepare and cook.
