...said that the national significance his trial may have on abortion law has "thrust" great importance on himself. But Edelin said that it is important to oppose what he said is a national movement opposing legalized abortion...
...Dagger Thrust. Each age must measure its knowledge of war, its concept of force against the Iliad, and that is one reason the poem has been translated and retranslated, from Alexander Pope's resounding version in 1720 to Richmond Lattimore's literal yet poetic rendering of 1951. In Pope, for instance, dactylic hexameters were given their royally cadenced English equivalent to which Homeric heroes stepped rather like late-Renaissance princes. Robert Fitzgerald, Harvard's Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory and a poet (Spring Shade, 1971) in his own right, has cut back on the pomp without...
Life of Leonardo da Vinci. An Italian TV crew came to the Crimson a couple of months ago to film a documentary on university politics ten years after the Berkeley Free Speech movement.

By unconsciously defining the sacrosanct woman, belonging to her husband or father and chaste, men have thrust the majority of modern women into the other mold. A woman in control of her own life cannot be cast readily into the virgin/saint role. So she is cast into the role of whore. And in the mind of the rapist and in the courtroom she is no longer the victim, but the perpetrator: "She was asking for it," comes the matter-of-fact...
