...crowds did not challenge the police. For many the rage that had spilled out in three days of rioting the week before to protest the banning of the independent trade union Solidarity was spent. In its place they felt only grief. What brought more than 10,000 of them together in a moving show of defiance was the funeral of Bogdan Wlosik, 20, a trainee electrician at the steel mill who had been shot in a scuffle with a plainclothesman. He was the 15th Pole known to have been killed since the imposition of martial law last December...
Although the individual may be expressing "global" or unfocused rage, he is far more likely to be obsessed by redressing a grievance.

It is no accident that Mississippi elicits such rage and passion and fidelity in its sons and daughters of both races, or that Northerners have always been obsessed with what takes place here, for Mississippi has always been the crucible of the national guilt. Much remains to be accomplished, although there is a tolerance of independent expression in Mississippi now that does its own deepest traditions proud. With the flourishing of that tolerance, the young whites and blacks...
More recently, Jesse Kornbluth '68 provides a revealing glimpse of the most difficult Harvard of all for a current undergraduate to picture: a place where the students seemed to be in perpetual rage and confusion over miscarriages of social justice. Remembering a furtive meeting to plot a demonstration against Robert S. McNamara's 1966 visit to Quincy House, Kornbluth recalls "trying to figure out some way to sneak human limbs out of the lab so we could throw them at McNamara and rejecting all suggestions that we settle for bones from the butcher shop and chicken blood--'no symbols...
