...worked harder at propagating his own legend than Montgomery himself. From his early, loveless childhood, he sought his outlet in domination through leadership-first in sports, then in battle. During World War II, his unflagging confidence combined with a gift for showmanship gave Britons a needed boost in morale. His trademark beret and scruffy turtlenecks, as well as his jut-jawed, wisecracking impatience with routine, became international emblems of the tough, get-the-job-done spirit of the Allied war effort...
...being, Smith's 12,000 troops under arms, comprising regulars, paramilitary police and reservists, will probably have little trouble containing the guerrilla insurgency. But Rhodesia's diplomatic and economic isolation as a result of the Mozambique action will be keenly-and immediately-felt. The loss of an outlet to the Indian Ocean via railway links to the Mozambique ports of Beira and Maputo immensely complicates Salisbury's trade with the outside world. Nearly 40% of Rhodesia's exports and imports moved along those rail lines. Alternate routes through South Africa are already congested...

Unable to find a satisfactory outlet for her own creative energy, she compensated for her failure by living vicariously what she called their "experiences of the soul...
...Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra is one major outlet for students' creative energies. But with no outright credit offered by the Faculty, it becomes difficult for many students to justify the time spent in orchestra rehearsal. It is possible for students to take Music 91r with Dr. Yannatos. However, the specific studies of this course are only secondary to the real learning that takes place on stage during the five hours of rehearsal time each week and the extra hours spent by each musician practicing on his own. Some University officials think of the orchestra as a "extracurricular" activity and liken...
