...latest outbursts of racial violence in the South have filled me with shame and disgust. This mob violence and mass hysteria has no justification and to poison the minds of children with hatred and bigotry is nothing less than atrocious! Instead of hanging effigies, these mobs should hang their heads in shame...

Clement, quietly staked out in the Stevenson camp (to the disgust of Fellow Tennessean Estes Kefauver), was generally acceptable to both North and South because of his "local-level" approach to school desegregation.

Rarer than the power to shock is Author Gascar's power to evoke disgust, which he does by combining familiar objects in unfamiliar ways until they become surreal and emetic. In Gaston he describes a rat: "It looked rather like a great hairy carrot; it crouched there as all rats do, as soon as dusk has fallen and there is nothing to distinguish them...
