...wrote Sophie Reagan, Radcliffe '41, in a letter to the CRIMSON back in 1940. She was troubled not only by Harvard's traditional scorn for Radcliffe, but also by a specific and undeniably inflammatory incident. A few days before a CRIMSON editor had escorted Miss Toni Sorel, contender for the title of "Number One Ommph Girl of the Nation," into the Harvard Yard. Later, over a daiquiri, Miss Sorel had this to say to the press...
...long, long time after its formal chartering of Radcliffe in 1894, Harvard was generally cordial but distant. The attitude of most men was not so much one of scorn, but of (and we blush to use the word) indifference. In 1908 The Harvard Illustrated News (which was edited by H.V. Kaltenborn '09) ran an article entitled "Radcliffe on Harvard" which indicates attitudes then prevalent on both sides of the Common. The article, by an anonymous Radcliffe undergraduate, said in part...
Douglas MacArthur, in his messages to the enemy, never matched the harshness of the words General Matthew Ridgway used last week. Calling Communist charges that U.N. forces had violated the neutrality of Kaesong "malicious falsehoods," Ridgway poured towering scorn on the Communists in a historic verbal nose-twisting.

Pearson rounded off the suit by demanding $2.5 million more from McCarthy, Columnists Westbrook Pegler and Fulton Lewis Jr., the Washington Times-Herald, and seven other individuals, charging that they had conspired to hold him up to "public scorn and ridicule" and scare away potential sponsors for his radio program. It was Pearson's third suit against Pegler. He withdrew the first (for $25,-ooo) in 1946 after he and Pegler had made a gentleman's agreement to stop calling each other names. Still pending...
...anger was loud, general, and without clearly visible purpose. Ugliness made him angry, but esthetes made him laugh. Materialism enraged him, but the spiritual roused him to scorn. He was angry at social injustice, but the idea of reform bored him just as much. The source of his anger seemed to spring from his childhood in Sauk Centre, in which, to his intense disappointment, he could see no Lancelots and no shining castles. Usually mislabeled a realist or a satirist, he was really a disappointed romantic...
