...speak they did. In rhetorical excesses that sometimes found Castro dozing off, speakers echoed his attacks on obvious targets of abuse. The U.S. was frequently denounced, as were the Muzorewa government in Zimbabwe Rhodesia and the white rulers of South Africa. Perhaps the worst punishment was reserved for Egypt, which Castro had excoriated in his keynote speech for "betraying the Arab cause" by signing the Camp David accord. When Egyptian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Butros Ghali vainly sought to defend his government, he was met by a flood of invective from the other Arab delegations. Even Jordan...
...every year remains fairly stable. "Some of them try to act dyslexic. But essentially that would involve lying to an officer of the University. Most freshmen are trying to put their best foot forward and don't do that." Some students with real disabilities exaggerate their symptoms: "It's obvious they're malingering, but they are also covering up a real problem," Dinklage says...

Those authors are not only fixed points to steer by but fetishes that protect a writer from foundering in swamps of detail. Edward Hoagland does not get around to his ritual reference until page 91 of African Calliope: A Journey to the Sudan: "Far from learning something new about the black-white torque that is such a misery in America, here I was freer of it. But the other reason why I had come to Africa, instead...
