Zampillaerrotationist Sirs: ... I have noticed the word "rapist" in TIME occasionally. A rapist would I should think be one who advocated, practiced or devoted himself to rape through conviction. One who has raped or is raping would I imagine be a raper. Probably they don't care what we call them-just a question of accurate English, so long as you choose to mention them at all.

When stocky, conservative Dean William F. Russell of Teachers College turned up in the convention to deliver...
...limbo from which Floyd Odium later plucked them (TIME, April 24, 1933). It was for background information on these that SEC had called Mr. Williams. When Attorney Smith persisted in asking if the Williams "empire" was not greater in 1935 than in 1929, he apparently used a word very annoying to his smiling witness. Said Mr. Williams sharply...
