1979: Election victory for Margaret ThatcherThe Conservative Party wins the general election making Margaret Thatcher Britain's first woman prime minister.

Margaret Thatcher became Britain's first female prime minister on May 4th 1979. She hardly ever encountered other powerful women, and the sense of being alone made her see herself as a permanent outsider

今天除了一邊一國各慶其節："文藝節v青年節"之外，我走經臺灣大學的羅斯福地道，碰到一位小朋友懶洋洋回答其父的"你知不知道"星際大戰"？ " "不知道！"其父是老古董，急忙解釋 Star Wars .....；我很訝異，為什麼會用這當代溝的引信？
原來，嘿嘿：
May 4 is the official unofficial holiday for Star Wars fans.


Star Wars Day - Wikipedia


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Day

Star Wars Day, May 4, celebrates Star Wars created by George Lucas. It is observed by fans of the movies. Observance of the holiday spread quickly through media and grassroots celebrations. The date was chosen for the easy pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you" as "May the Fourth be with you".
There's a day for everything, so of course there's one for Star Wars, complete with pun - "May the 4th be with you." For fans, here's a classic moment from "The Power of Myth," in which Joseph Campbell draws parallels between Star Wars and mythological themes of heroism.

Jan. 31：

李筱峰 新增了  2 張相片 。 《燦爛的星辰》停刊聲明 我這個專欄推出至今屆滿一個月，這一個月來我發現讀者很少，反應極為冷淡。我訪問過許多位親友及學生，大多不感興趣。甚至，連原本向我預約準備在年底集結成書出版的出版社總編輯，看了我這個月的「試寫」之後，也建議我停筆。如果讀者冷淡無興趣，而我又必須每天費時去溫習、爬梳龐雜資料才下筆，這對於癌術後的我，確實是無意義的負擔，而且也浪費民報珍貴的篇幅。因此我決定見「壞」就收，從今天起結束《燦爛的星辰》這個專欄。 今天的壽星舒伯特，有著名的「未完成交響曲」，是我喜愛的音樂。然而我這個「未完成」的專欄，卻是情非得已。 感謝民報這個月來容許我自由揮灑；也感謝這個月來每天看《燦爛的星辰》的少數讀友，當然也要請你們包涵體諒！
