...feel insulted, by The Crimson's cockily arrogant and demeaningly unintelligent reportage of Queen Margrethe's of Denmark's visit to Harvard. Not only is it impolitic and unfair of the University daily to characterize the party of a visiting foreign dignitary as a "traveling show," it is a rude petty gesture to portray this distinguished visitor with pictures and words notable only for their lack of talent and taste. These moreover, share the kind of pretentious irony and mock muckraking to which the rest of the page pretends...

From then on, Lawrence was lost to consuming guilt and shame and soon after the assault, Lawrence took up the habit, repeated regularly until his death, of paying a fellow soldier to whip him mercilessly...
...take her half-nude, public come-on seriously ("I was just doing my job," she says simply, why Stuart at first makes an icon of her and never quite loses his attitude of reverence, even after the rape--hover tantalizingly over the early scenes but are dissipated in the rude glare of simple melodrama...
