...angered as I was after reading your report of the sadistic and abominable treatment inflicted upon the youngsters who attended the McMartin School in California [BEHAVIOR, April 23]. Although I am not in favor of the death penalty, I think death must be the only acceptable punishment for so heinous a crime...
...sexual harassment are not the "extreme outgrowths" of this view of women, they are the natural result. Studies clearly show that pornography increases male subjects' acceptance of rape and sexual violence. Moreover, it clearly communicates that such violence is "fun," "exciting" and "okay." In fact, many of the most heinous sex crimes are performed using pornography as a text-book.

...story that brought the year's largest response was the Jan. 24 cover on the death penalty. In all, 1,697 readers sent in their comments, and the overwhelming majority-1,009-sanctioned execution as an appropriate penalty for the most heinous crimes.

If the policies of the agency itself should come under scrutiny, the inventors of that policy, and their counsel, whose personal transgressions now seem...
...Privacy has vanished. Waking and sleeping, Smith and all Party members are observed by two-way telescreens; posters everywhere proclaim BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU. Suddenly, Smith commits a thoughtcrime: "Down with Big Brother." He also begins a love affair with Julia, a co-worker at his office, another heinous offense. The Junior Anti-Sex League indoctrinates the virtue of celibacy; procreation will soon be carried on solely through artificial insemination ("artsem," in Newspeak). All personal loyalty belongs to the Party. Winston and Julia are caught by the Thought Police and hauled off to the Ministry of Love...
