...child abuse and child pornography can be regarded as merely aberrational; some child abuse is actually a bent expression of too much caring, and kiddie porn (both the selling of it and the taste for it) may be just a ragged, ugly leftover of the sexual revolution. Still, the profound hostility accumulated in all that child abuse and pornography could be used to wage a medium-sized...
Almost no one can discuss children rationally; having children and raising them successfully is an essentially irrational act. It obeys a profound and sometimes self-punishing logic like salmon thrashing upriver to spawn, an impulse encoded in the race's will to go on. All kinds of aversions to and adorations of children occur simultaneously now. The young are battered and cherished, subjected to violent extremes of malnourishment and indulgence. Children are so swaddled in myth and delusion that Marian Wright Edelman, director of the Children's Defense Fund in Washington, argues that Americans should...
These swimmers from other schools could have a profound effect on the outcome of the Harvard-Princeton confrontation. Because that duel stacks up as one of Harvard's front-line aces against Princeton's depth and relay strength, the ability of each team's secondary performers to reach the finals will be of paramount importance.

...teach Afro-American Literature because I am trained in literature, and because Afro-American literature is the literature of my people, one of the most oppressed nationalitites in the world today. I make no apology for this categorization. Witness the profound alienation of Afro-American peoples, the malicious attempt to reduce us to beings only concerned with the satisfaction of animal desires, the undisguised genocidal practices to which Afro-Americans are subjected daily (over 50 per cent of the U.S. prison population is black), the gross unemployment of our youth (over 60 per cent unemployed) while billions go toward arms...
...With profound reluctance, the Wyoming legislature last week abandoned its drive to the end federally ordered 55-m.p.h speed limit. No matter. Most U.S. drivers laugh at the limit anyway. Meanwhile, homes and offices are overheated and empty skyscrapers are lit up like Christmas trees all night long. In short, five years after the Arab oil embargo, America remains a profligate consumer and waster of energy. If all the barrels of oil that the U.S. uses in just one day were laid end to end they would stretch the from New York to Calcutta...
