Infinite Variety. The Barrons achieve their effects by designing electronic circuits that they think express certain emotional characteristics when attached to a loudspeaker, and they tend to call the circuits "characters.'' One expresses anger. Another they call Chloe, because it sounds to them like the lost swamp girl. Some express themselves in a kind of melody, or at least in a series of pitch changes. To provide a sound accompaniment to a film scene, the Barrons kept altering circuits until one expressed what they were looking for. Then they combined it with others, recorded the resulting series...
Just Like Ike? The Harriman team's strategy is to talk platform as much as they talk candidate. Principal reason: if the Harriman forces can force a strong plank on civil rights at Chicago, they can anger-and possibly drive out-the South, embarrass Stevenson in his position as the peacemaking moderate, and plump hard for a candidate who takes strong stands and can hold the big-city vote in the North, i.e., Averell Harriman. In its long-range thinking, the Harriman team figures that its big platform fight could win for "Honest Ave," much as the 1952 Eisenhower...
...life of a priest. On the same boat, the family slings , a bullock they have sold away to Galway. The loading is botched and so, in emotional terms, is the boy's farewell; the family is torn by an anguish it can only express in hysteria and anger. The boy himself believes that he is being sent to the priesthood to eke out the family income, and his fate, anticlerical O'Flaherty suggests, is little different from that of the dumb ox. In eleven pages the reader gets a minor masterpiece of human misery...
...time young Robin's goldbricking held less appeal to a man who had come up the hard way from the back-breaking labor and pocket-pinching strikes of a Lancashire coal mine. Father Roberts recalls his barely controlled anger the day Robin deliberately broke a hoe to avoid work. The outraged father took a fly swatter to his son's well-padded bottom ("It don't hurt your hand and it don't mark the kid"). But Robin went right on playing. When he couldn't talk one of his three brothers into playing catch...
There was, for a starter, the charge of threatened arson. One night not long after Padre Antonio Zamorano took over the parish in 1942, his flock, mostly peasants who lived and worked on neighboring estates, came to the church in tearful anger. A landlord, annoyed by one of his farmhand tenants, had refused to pay any of them for their work that week. The priest, whose life until then had been the unharried existence of a Catholic school teacher of algebra, Latin and Greek, was shocked. "Is weeping all you propose to do?" he roared at his parishioners...
