let the case cease!

To whom it may concern ,
I'm a former FY students , pursuing my tertiary studies
now.
From my point of view , maybe MR.GOH has acted a bit too
harsh on his
students, maybe the punishment had gone overboard . But definitely
there's a hidden motive existed behind his action .
It might be an attempt to improve the quality of his students
or to
make the guilty one realises how his behaviour has affected the others.
Do give him a chance to amend his fault and let this case cease.

Mrs. Lee,
Nader is one of the United States political party's leader, the Green
Party. They strongly advocate Human Rights, Abortion Right, and
Anti-corruption government. That's what "Green" stands for. His party
did not gain even 1 % of the American's vote. What a laughter.
Foucault, is a French philosopher. Foucault looked at madness and power
relations as concepts, and he examined institutions such as schools,
hospitals, asylums, prisons. The dominant metaphor of his work is
incarceration. He saw society as imprisoned, both physically and
metaphorically.
I guess one of you, the lawyer, have read the book, Discipline and
Punish.
Back to the main topic. I bet i have figured out what you guys want.
You all should know the consequences for this game.
HeHe.
Ken

（我们的回信）：
Dear Ken,
感谢您解开了我们的其中一个“密语”，虽然解得不是很足够，但这还真让我们那位“陋巷律师”（因为他的书房就对著一条“陋巷”）乐了好一阵呢！
您对 Ralph Nader 的描写太简单了，只提他去年竞选美国总统失利的事，没提他在六、七十年代做过什麽。应当说，他是美国消费人保护运动的先驱。Nader 这名字几乎跟消费人保护运动同义！读过他那本《任何速度都不安全》(Unsafe at Any Speed) 吗？
不知您有没有看过《大英百科全书》中所收的 Michel Foucault 和 Ralph Nader 这两个条目？
其实，法国的 Foucault 是今天大学里文化研究中一位大师级的人物，喜欢搞文学、社会学、历史、哲学和文化理论的人，大概都要读一读他的东西（但我猜您不是念这些科目的）。他的不少著作在台湾和大陆都有中译本。您提到他的那本《纪律和惩罚》(Discipline and Punish) 当然很重要。不过我觉得应当再提他的另一本名著：《知识的考掘》(The Archaeology of Knowledge)。此书有王德威教授的中译本，台湾麦田出版，新山的大将书行有卖。
但坦白说，Foucault 的书非常深奥难读，再加上英文或中文翻译，更不好读，所以我说我只读过“一点点”。“陋巷律师”倒读得比较多，比较透彻。
祝福
