...practical terms, the Presbyterian policy was partly based on the delegates' unspoken perception that acceptance of homosexual practice as an alternate Christian life-style might cause rebellion among rank-and-file members of the church. During the political maneuvering, the church's liberal patriarchs were silent for the most part, and its conservative Evangelicals launched their most effective campaign in a generation...
Gulag III should prove less formidable than its predecessors. The bleak panorama of I (the prison system) and II (the labor camps) opens on to more heartening vistas of resistance and rebellion in III. The book is principally an enthralling account of the first postwar escapes and strikes in the camps that exploded into full-scale mutinies after Stalin's death. That heroic era coincided with Solzhenitsyn's own eight-year term, and its heady air still exhilarates him. The pride and zest with which he describes the convicts' resistance contrast sharply with the fury he expended...
...first acts of rebellion in the camps were made possible by a miscalculation of Stalin in 1948.

Once free from the scourge of the murderers and thieves who terrorized them, the politicals gradually gained courage...

A person with a tiny head and huge, bloated body curls around in an endless, crazy, frightened somersault--a Freudian might see it as a picture of someone...
...conviction appears. The attitude of moral outrage which Pusey adopted during the student outbreaks in 1969, his indignation that "Harvard men" could act in such a way, continues even nine years after the event. If the '50s were a "scoundrel" time in American history, Pusey considers in the student rebellion in the late 1960s even more reprehensible...
