...Once the normalization with China was finally decided upon, Carter precipitately made it public. He greatly miscalculated the adverse effect on the leaders of the Soviet Union, which has resulted in a delay of a SALT II treaty and momentarily soured U.S.-Soviet relations...

But sometimes, especially if a youngster is subjected to severe parental abuse, perhaps beatings, the child can turn to potentially damaging reveries, including ones about changes in sexual role.

He kicks into the air with the left leg, brings the right even higher, executing in effect a double jump suspended in air. Robbins, who worked out this unprecedented move with Baryshnikov, calls it a temps de flèche. To Ballet Master John Taras it is a grand pas de basque. Baryshnikov describes it as a jeté pass...
