...rise to political significance of a self-styled Moral Majority [Oct. 13], with the unavoidable implication that those who don't share its views are immoral and evil, is to me a frightening development. History shows that nothing else is so provocative of wrath as the threat of having someone else's moral and religious views imposed...
...Adams House B entry. In the recent past the vulnerability of women and gays walking the streets of Cambridge at night has received much emphasis in the Crimson and elsewhere on campus. My friend and I are average-size men with nothing about our appearance to attract the wrath of three highly intoxicated Cambridge gentlemen, but for being on the same street with them.

The totality of the White House assault on every Reagan word and phrase and on Anderson's effort to gain a wider audience seems at times a serious perversion of the campaign system. The wrath that escapes Carter's lips about racism and hatred when he prays and poses as the epitome of Christian charity leads even his supporters to protest his meanness, a judgment that was hardened last Thursday in the sour press conference where the President sought to dispel that very accusation...
