标题: Dear Kat: now i am in the office to read that book, you know what?
"trainted" should be "tainted", my fault!! sorry about that! i looked it up in the dictionary saying that " make or become infected".

Senator Robert LaFollette called hi " the greatest criminal of the age." Ida Tarbell's recently published History of the Standard Oil Company was enough to convince anyone that the name Rockfeller was a synonym for unbridled ruthlessness and power.
John D. Rockefeller was indeed the wealthiest.

搞笑生活...


【老夫少妻】

从年轻时起,我就立志要成为一个老男人。

  虽然我早就出落得一表人才,玉树临风,班上的女同学都特别喜欢偷看我……的作业。

  那时侯,身边的漂亮MM多半被社会上的老男人勾走了,害得我大器晚成,24岁才开始了人生第一次。

  我的初恋情人与我同年。据说本命年恋爱会命犯桃花,我是从初恋那年开始命犯廿四岁女人。因为从我人生的第二个本命年开始,我用了十二年时间努力争取结束单身生活,可悲的是,我的青春竟然被十二位廿四岁女人无情的摧残呆殆尽。

  唯一值得庆幸的是,我已经顺利地实现了青春梦想,跻身于老男人行列。

  在我人生的第三个本命年,认识了阿妞——是我生命中的第十二位本命年女郎,在为阿妞庆祝廿四岁生日后的第二天,我们开始了同居生活。

  【古董价值】

  逛街,我陪阿妞看时装,阿妞陪我去参观博物馆。

  在博物馆里,阿妞对一个古代铜手炉产生了好奇。

  “这个东东一定值老多银细吧?”阿妞比较关心实质性问题。

  “恩……”

  “如果拿去拍卖能卖到多少钱呢?二十万有吗?”

  “十万块吧……”我敷衍道。

  “咳,”阿妞开始发表独到见解:“这么个小东东根本暖不了身嘛,不如十万大洋卖了它,换太立柜式空调,剩下钱还可以买一件裘皮大衣,多暖和呀。”

  【生日礼物】

  “喂,老月亮,生日快乐哦。”快下班的时候,阿妞给我来了个祝贺电话。“早点儿回家吧,有惊喜给你呢。”“哦,你给我准备了什么礼物啊?”“猜啊……是你最喜欢的哦。”“是钱啊!”“哼,我还以为你最喜欢的是我呢……不理你了……”“我最喜欢的当然是钱,最爱的才是你呀。”还好,我嗓音压得够低,办公室没人听见。“嘻嘻,算你走运,真的要送钱给你呢,美金哦,好不好?一千块的哦。”我狂喜。

  当晚,我收到一大盒玩具拼图,我用了2个月才将一千块小纸片拼成一张完整的美圆大钞。

  【性感睡衣】

  “我还给你准备了很特殊的生日礼物耶。”临睡觉前,阿妞神秘兮兮地冲我挤眉弄眼。

  “什么呢?”

  “性感睡衣哦,嘿嘿……”说完一溜烟进了洗澡间。

  期待中,无限神往中……

  “铛铛铛……”17分零16秒后,头发湿漉漉的阿妞走进卧室,身上穿着一件粉红色的、印有卡通图案的、长袖的、扣子扣到下巴底的棉质睡衣……我倒。

  “这算那门子性感嘛,简直就是BB装嘛。”我抗议。

  “切,”阿妞凑到我跟前,指这衣襟上的小天使卡通PP说:

  “你看,酥胸半露,屁股翘翘,还不够性感呀。”

  【诸神保佑】

  阿妞对我很不礼貌,但对各类寺庙道观里的菩萨神仙却总是恭恭敬敬,几乎是逢庙必烧香,见佛就磕头。甚至什么妈祖娘娘、土地公公都不放过。

  12月24日,平安夜,她又吵着要进基督教堂凑热闹。

  我决定给她补补宗教常识课,很耐心的给她讲述了各种宗教的区别,希望她能专一的选择一个神灵作为寄托。

  演讲结束。阿妞连声称赞“老师真棒,讲得好好听哦。”

  我问,那么,咱不去基督教堂了吧?”

  “去啊,干嘛不去,过去只有中国的菩萨神仙保佑我,去了教堂连外国的神仙都一起来保佑我了,多好哇。”

  【网虫思维】

  阿妞是不可救药的超级网虫。

  逛街购物的时候,阿妞常常望着商店橱窗里琳琅满目的商品自言自语:“如果是免费下载该有多好!”

  一次开车回家,为躲避路人,我的汽车差点撞到人行道的护栏,阿妞居然在我耳边大喊:“快按BACK呀。”惊魂过后,这小姑奶奶居然还在埋怨我:你该用Pentium Pro升级自己的大脑了!

  【散伙晚宴】

  很无奈的,由于与家庭、社会、心理差异等等原因,更因为阿妞认为她的源代码与我的浏览器不兼容的缘故,我们决定分手。临别前,在小窝里吃了一顿“散伙晚餐。”

  当然是我下厨,老男人最大优势就是能搞掂锅碗瓢盆。

  “猪肝炒西红柿、胡萝卜红烧肉、猪肝红枣羹、姜枣红糖水、山楂桂枝红糖汤……怎么全是红色的菜呀,是不是你认为我们分手是很喜庆的事情啊?”阿忸看着餐桌很不爽。

  “不是,这些都是补血的食品,对你有好处……”我柔声解释道。

  “恩……”阿妞突然脸一红,问,今天几号?”

  “别问了,就是明天啦。”明天,是这小丫头每月一次要死要活狂呼肚子痛的日子。

  “能不能商量一下,我们五天后再分手好吗……就算我借居吧”

  我默许。

  【客套方式】

  再接下来的五天日子里,阿妞乖得出奇,而且说话语气,方式都变得客气了,最吃不消的是一口一个“劳您驾了,要您亲自…… ”

  忙碌一天,我靠在沙发上,阿妞乖巧地给我递上一枝香烟。

  我摇摇头拒绝了。

  阿妞突然惊叫一声:“哎呀,您亲自不抽烟呀……”

  【月下老狗】

  借居生活第五天,我们养的小母狗啦啦分娩了五条小狗狗,把阿妞乐坏了。

  “不行,把小宝贝留给你照顾我可不放心。”高兴之余,阿妞提出了新建议:“不如我把小狗狗养大再走?”

  “那怎么行……”我一阵狂喜:“除非你嫁给我。”

  婚礼后,我摸着狗狗说:“啦啦呀啦啦,你真是我的月下老人哦。”

  “才不是呢,”阿妞不怀好意的望着我说:

  “是月下老狗。”

标题: The making of the great Standard Oil fortune was an accident. It was...
as if a door had stood open for a brief historical moment and Rockefeller, who just happened to be passing by, managered to squeeze in before it closed. Never before had it been possible for an individual to build the organization he built; it would never be possible again.It was the random collision of a man with an opportunity.

标题: One man who made myth as well as money was
Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish bobbin boy who had come to America and made himself King of Steel. The millionaires who controlled American industry, he wrote later in his career......started as poor boys, and where trained in the sternest but most efficient of schools--poveryt. "

标题: On June 1, 1914, King received a telegram from the Rockefeller Foundation
asking him to come to New York for a discussion about a major project it was beginning. He didnot know it at the time, but
the invitation had come bnecause of a speech he had given at Cambridge on labor theory a few years earlier. One of those
in attendance, Harvard's august president, Charles W. Eliot, had been much impressed, as had been Jerome Greene, the
secretary of the Harvard Corporation. Now Greene was secretary of the Rockefeller Foundation and Eliot was its most
distinguished trustee.

The inner circle of Associates ws constantly expanding. Fosdick had first brought Arthur Woods to Junior's attention, and in
1921 he hired another young man with formidable talents, Beardley Ruml. It was to Ruml that he entrusted the task of
making a survey of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, and the New York Public Library, to which Junior proposed t ogive a sum of one million dollars each. Apsychology Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, Bearsley Ruml was a huge, florid-faced man of Czech parentage who had already established himself in business and philanthropy when Fosdick brought him to Juniour's attention.
Formerly employed as an advisor to the Armour and Swift companies, and assistant to the president of the Carnegie Corpor-ation, Ruml was one of the new breed of intellectual entrepreneurs able to move smoothly between the worlds of universities, business, and government, creating agencies, assebling networks of influence, and in general helping to blueprint the
emergence of the new administrative state.

标题: 05/17/2006 2:47pm, in the office P144
As the first years of Junior's leadership passed, the Office came to function more and more like a business. Decisions that
had once been made according to Gates's and Senior's individual quirks and interests were now made through established
channels. The foundations had their own administrators; in making his personal charitable gifts.
