Instead, the unions directed their wrath toward the European Community, which last week issued an important rebuff to a Belgian plan to restructure the nation's archaic steel industry at a cost of $1.1 billion and 5,000 lost jobs. Two major trade unions in Wallonia promptly began a weeklong series of strikes and demonstrations...
...Turner scores Harvard's final goal of the night at 8:17 of the third period, and now Eliot suffers the Harvard fans wrath, as tennis balls, beer cans and, that's right, a sieve pelt the Big Red net. The Cornell netminder takes a hike out of the crease, and, since they had been forewarned, the Harvard fans take a trip to the penalty box. The minutes for "roughing", you might say. In any case, the scoreboard shows a two minute penalty on Harvard's number zero, and Crimson defenseman Scott Sangster sits out the penalty, as the referee...
When the existence of Richard Nixon's self-destructive, secret taping system was dramatically revealed early one afternoon at the Senate Watergate hearings in July 1973, Democrats rose in righteous wrath to assail the President.

The first problem will be to pass the badly unbalanced 1983 budget the President plans to submit next week. "Are any Republicans going to vote for it?" asked Robert...
...years Congress has avoided passing even modest gun registration measures, wary of incurring the well-financed wrath of shooters' groups like the National Rifle Association. But the town fathers of Morton Grove, Ill. (pop. 24,000), a genteel suburb northwest of Chicago, are not so timorous. Beginning next Monday, selling or possessing a handgun in Morton Grove will be a crime, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $500 fine. The law against possession, passed 4 to 2 by the village trustees and upheld by a federal district court, is the most stringent gun control statute...
