...dramatic gestures ever made by a head of state, his "sacred mission" to Jerusalem in 1977 to proclaim his willingness "to live in permanent peace and justice." The 1978 Camp David accords made him the only Arab leader to make peace with the Jewish state, but also made him anathema to many of his countrymen and culminated in his assassination...
...communications cut-off cannot obscure the most important fact underlying the government's declaration of "a state of war" and "a state of emergency": that liberty--whether of speech, of assembly, or of labor--is anathema to Soviet-controlled regimes in Eastern Europe.

...latest issue of GQ, senior editor Peter Carisen even goes so far as to say, in all seriousness, that "fashion is anathema to radicals of both the right and left, who posit an unchanging social order once utopia has been reached. Fashion is ultimately anarchistic, since it delivers endless change. What, in fact, could be more subtly seditious than a process that regularly heaves the existing order upside down, informing its constituency that what was black yesterday is white today...
