That might end the more flagrant abuses. Even so, some experts like Child Psychiatrist Mark Stewart of the University of Iowa have lost their early enthusiasm for using drugs to control unruly children. To Stewart, the real danger is not side effects but that "by the time a child on drugs reaches puberty, he does not know what his undrugged personality is and, even worse, his family does not know how to accept...
...more than reasonable in the precautions it has asked him to take. In dismissing him, it reacted to wilful repudiation of these safeguards. But surely the University has not taken this exceptional step in response to mere misdemeanors. In firing Richard Alpert, Harvard has dissociated itself not only from flagrant dishonesty but also from behavior that is spreading infection throughout the academic community...
...comes to staging military coups, Honduras' swarthy Army Commander General Oswaldo López Arellano, 53, has had plenty of on-the-job training. In 1963 he overthrew the liberal government of Dr. Ramón Villeda Morales in order to end what the general described as "flagrant violations of the constitution."

There are any number of examples...
HEALTHY APPRECIATIONS no longer suffles. A weekend with the Kinks finds me emerging fullblown into fandom. Live Kinks have been called a "juiced Jersey bar band." That they are, But they're also a vehicle for Ray Davies' mad genius. I admire Davies (belatedly I'll admit) for his flagrant Englishnees and an equally flagrant aura of working class. (Davies is from London's Muswell Hill district). I admire his adamant refusal to betray those roots. He and his bend of vagrants rock on. God Save the Kinks...
