...videos were only recently uncovered by journalists and made available for public broadcast. Shortly after the tapes aired, top officials in Ottawa again announced that there was ``zero tolerance'' for racism in the military. ``I can only express my outrage and disgust. These people denigrate our proud Canadian military heritage,'' said Defense Minister David Collenette, who ordered General John de Chastelain, chief of defense staff, ``to investigate this matter and to report on it'' by Jan. 23. Prime Minister Jean Chretien went a step further. ``If we have to dismantle the Airborne Regiment, we'll dismantle it,'' he said while...
...unshaped quality to some of them not seen in his well-made novels, as if Auchincloss had simply stopped writing when an idea or character ran dry. But the collection as a whole is powerful and chilling. It is as harsh as anything in current literature, an expression of disgust and revulsion maintained over five decades.

While other commentators, overwhelmed at the turn of events, had been forced to consult thesauruses in an effort to find synonyms for "wholesale repudiation" and "visceral disgust," Panetta had a slightly different take. Bill Clinton had been elected on a platform of change, Panetta explained, and now the voters had expressed a desire for even more change -- in other words, the historic rejection of Democratic candidates was in some sense an extension of the Clinton mandate. That...
...December 1992, when Israeli Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin deported 400 Hamas activists, the world reacted with disgust and indignation. Rabin had to revoke this action and allow the Hamas terrorists to return to Israeli soil. In stark contrast, following the recent killing of 23 civilians in a bus explosion in Tel-Aviv, Israel has been granted full international support for its declaration of an all-out assault on Hamas...
