Rugby tradition dictates that sports-manship and self-control are as necessary to a rugger as are good wind and sturdy legs. Talking in the scrum, profanity, and protesting a referee's decision are not tolerated...
...have both assigned volunteer experts to the thankless task of turning out thoughtful if largely unread position papers on all sorts of topics: black capitalism, the problems of aging, rural redevelopment. But most are aimed at small special-interest groups, and if the press reports them, such pronouncements usually wind up in puny paragraphs between the obituaries and the recipes.

The rigid troops move forward like wind-up toy soldiers, under the hypnotic spell of unquestioned tradition. The firing begins; the hoofs and bodies and blood combine. Screams and guns seem to reach beyond the screen. The hysteria and terror are as palpable as dust; the slaughter is a testament to the inanity of blind obedience...
