Lyndon Johnson does not often get publicly angry at labor, but he was coldly furious last week. Object of his wrath: the striking longshoremen, who had rebuffed two presidential pleas to return to work, were in the fifth week of a senseless strike that halted the nation's waterborne commerce from Maine to Texas. Not only was continuation of the strike "totally unjustified," said the President, but "the injury to the economy has reached staggering proportions...
Fearful Contradictions. Like Moses from the mountain, Swift came raging out of the peat bogs to cry doom and damnation on the idolatrous race of men. He is God's angry man, a prophet of the wrath to come who screams with infernal glee as he opens the vials of vituperation on the heads of humankind.

His wit is an indentured imp that leaps to any bidding-it can tickle the funny bone, attack with acid, fry living flesh on a deadpan, reach down the throat of a corpse and come...
...Roman Catholic rectories of Los Angeles, the fathers sometimes make wry mention of the C.C.C.-the Cardinal's Carpet Club of parish priests who have incurred the wrath of James Francis Mclntyre, 78, the tough-willed, conservative Roman Catholic archbishop.

When the priests tried to escape from a rebel truck, three were killed on the spot. The fourth survived by playing dead, but was driven mad by the experience. Carried into Leopoldville last week in a planeload of survivors, he kept muttering: "I must go back to join the cadavers...
While the expulsion of Dean Burch from the position of National Chairman would be a dramatic symbol of Goldwater's total defeat, Republicans should not concentrate their rehabilitation efforts on petty personal conflicts and impulsive Nixonian pronouncements. Burch's inept campaign has probably incurred the wrath of responsibly conservative Republicans; he may lose a vote of confidence at the January National Committee meeting, even with only a minimum of effort by anti-Goldwater tacticians...
