...perplexity in their actions and in their statements and even more so in theoretical reflections to explain how realistic, reasonable as well as intellectually and even morally warranted it is to base state policies on weakness and cowardice. And decline in courage is ironically emphasized by occasional explosions of anger and inflexibility on the part of the same bureaucrats when dealing with weak governments and weak countries, not supported by anyone, or with currents which cannot offer any resistance. But they get tongue-tied and paralyzed when they deal with powerful governments and threatening forces, with aggressors and international terrorists...
Residents of northern Minnesota are strongly opposed to the bill, leveling much of their anger at its cosponsor, Representative Donald M. Fraser, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Muriel Humphrey. But they are also annoyed by Minnesota's other U.S. Senator, Wendell R. Anderson.

A walker in Central Park is as likely to be overrun by joggers as assaulted by muggers. New York has the fifth highest major crime rate among...
...find such observations very convincing or useful. Worse, Psychoanalyst Gould applies a heavy dose of Freudian pessimism: every child is born with an "insatiable biological drive" to have what it cannot have, the total attention and love of its mother. The failure to satisfy this drive, he believes, produces anger and protective devices that dominate every stage of adult development. Says Gould: "Mental life seems to have an unconscious goal-the elimination of the distortions of childhood consciousness and its demons and protective devices that restrict our life...
