"Poor creatures were they," says Judge Witherell, "some wounded , many sickly, and all nearly naked, bareheaded and barefooted, having been robbed by the Indians.They were the personification of misery and want, compelled to follow their savage captors around the streets in the hope of ransom , and sleeping on the bare ground, in smoky or filthy tents, or under the open sky.The compassion of our citizens was deeply excited, and every effort was made in the power of the plundered and impoverished people to ransom the suffering captives.Mrs Knaggs, among others, parted with blankets and nearly everything that had been saved from the village of her home, to buy the freedom of the prisoners."

A savage blizzard packing hurricane force winds dumped up to four feet of snow on many parts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut between the 6th and 7th of February 1978. Not only did the deep snows paralyze highway traffic, but because of the mountainous waves it created during record high tides hundreds of people were sent fleeing from their coastal homes, their houses reduced to rubble. Fifty-four died and highways and neighbor streets alike were left clogged with abandoned, snow-covered vehicles. It was many days before community life returned to normal .

It's no wonder he hates it here. Spider Jerusalem, journalist and hero of sorts in Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan , wades through a sewer of poverty and high-tech despair daily in his efforts to understand and report on America. In The New Scum , Ellis contrasts the powerful, in the form of presidential candidates, with the powerless, who are begging and hustling on the streets. The satire is savage and rarely subtle, but the author takes care to show some human warmth lest the comic descend into the nihilism it warns against. The plot, largely secondary to the characters and background events, focuses loosely on Jerusalem's assignment to interview the two candidates, each psychotic and unfit for any office. His bodyguard and personal assistant, meanwhile, discover the terrors of pleasure in a post-nanotech world with unlimited credit. The election -eve climax fully captures the anxiety and depression that come from having no real choice in matters of great importance. Either Ellis or his creation deserves a Pulitzer (www.amazon.com....3/am841-20)

Had the portentous comet of the rights of man, (which from its horrid hair shakes pestilence and war, and with fear of change perplexes monarchs, had that comet crossed upon us in that internal state of England, nothing human could have prevented our being irresistibly hurried, out of the highway of heaven , into all the vices, crimes, horrors, and miseries of the French Revolution . 15 Happily, France was not then Jacobinised. Her hostility was at a good distance. We had a limb cut off; but we preserved the body . We lost our colonies; but we kept our constitution. There was, indeed, much intestine heat; there was a dreadful fermentation. Wild and savage insurrection quitted the woods, and prowled about our streets in the name of reform. Such was the distemper of the public mind, that there was no madman, in his maddest ideas, and maddest projects, who might not count upon numbers to support his principles and execute his designs. 16 Many of the changes , by a great misnomer called parliamentary reforms, went, not in the intention of all the professors and supporters of them, undoubtedly, but went in their certain, and, in my opinion, not very remote effect, home to the utter destruction of the constitution of this kingdom (www.bartleby.com/24/4/1.html)

We cannot be ignorant of the spirit of atheistical fanaticism, that is inspired by a multitude of writings, dispersed with incredible assiduity and expense, and by sermons delivered in all the streets and places of public resort in Paris. These writings and sermons have filled the populace with a black and savage atrocity of mind, which supersedes in them the common feelings of nature, as well as all sentiments of morality and religion; insomuch that these wretches are induced to bear with a sullen patience the intolerable distresses brought upon them by the violent convulsions and permutations that have been made in property. 3 The spirit of proselytism attends this spirit of fanaticism. They have societies to cabal and correspond at home and abroad for the propagation of their tenets. The republic of Berne, one of the happiest, the most prosperous, and the best governed countries upon earth, is one of the great objects, at the destruction of which they aim. I am told they have in some measure succeeded in sowing there the seeds of discontent (www.bartleby.com/24/3/11.html)

McMaster's belief that this could be prevented by purely Catholic schools might be true of other countries, but not in this one where the Catholic schools, except for the French and German ones, would be semi-barbarian and those educated by them would be the most savage portion of the community and would be the first to turn their backs on religion when they are out in the world. The machinery of schools in the country is very good and it must be proven to the Irish Catholics that they can become Americans and still be Catholics. This may be done by educating them in the public schools, for it is not there that they learn their iniquity, but in the homes, on the streets, and in the haunts of intemperance and scenes of brutality. If the machinery of public education was to be destroyed when the country becomes Catholic, it would only have to be rebuilt, so why not use it and give their children the advantages of it. They should learn that their religion does not keep them from attaining the highest civilization of their country, but that they should learn to know Protestants and respect them for their virtues, and to distinguish between their human and social virtues and religion, in order to keep from losing their own Catholicity (archives1.archives.nd.edu....184903.htm)
They disembarked on the flat bowlder known as Plymouth Rock and set to work to make their home. With the snow under their feet, the dark, naked woods hemming them in, and concealing they knew not what savage perils; with the bitter waves flinging frozen spray along the shore, and immitigable clouds lowering above them-memory may have drawn a picture of the quiet English vales in which they were born, or of the hazy Dutch levels, with the windmills swinging their arms slumberously above the still canals, and the clean streets and gabled facades of the prosperous Holland town which had sheltered and befriended them. They thought of faces they loved and would see no more, and of the secure and tranquil lives they might have led, but for that tooth of conscience at their hearts, which would give them peace only at the cost of almost all that humanity holds dear. Did any of them wish they had not come? Did any doubt in his or her heart whether a cold abstraction was worth adopting in lieu of the great, warm, kindly world? Verily, not one!

Illegal immigration then and now is not the prime reason so many poor young blacks are on the streets, and why some turn to gangs, guns and drug dealing to get ahead. A shrinking economy, savage state and federal government cuts in and the elimination of job and skills training programs, failing public schools, a soaring black prison population, and employment discrimination are still the major reasons for the grim employment prospects and poverty in inner city black neighborhoods.

A pigeon, alone on a low branch, allowed Pearl to come beneath, and uttered a sound as much of greeting as alarm. A squirrel, from the lofty depths of his domestic tree, chattered either in anger or merriment for the squirrel is such a choleric and humorous little personage, that it is hard to distinguish between his moods so he chattered at the child, and flung down a nut upon her head. It was a last year s nut, and already gnawed by his sharp tooth. A fox, startled from his sleep by her light footstep on the leaves, looked inquisitively at Pearl, as doubting whether it were better to steal off, or renew his nap on the same spot. A wolf, it is said but here the tale has surely lapsed into the improbable came up and smelt of Pearl s robe, and offered his savage head to be patted by her hand. The truth seems to be, however, that the mother-forest, and these wild things which it nourished, all recognised a kindred wilderness in the human child. 20 And she was gentler here than in the grassy-margined streets of the settlement , or in her mother s cottage (www.bartleby.co..../1/18.html)
Without the miracle of DNA profiling, two depraved killers would still beprowling the streets of Ipswich and London this weekend, ready to murder forno other reason than sexual depravity or hatred of women. Mark Dixie, a pubchef, was first linked to the savage murder of Sally Anne Bowman, anaspiring model, purely as a result of DNA evidence. It involved a largeslice of luck; had it not been for his involvement in a pub brawl a fewmonths after the murder , his DNA would not have been on the nationaldatabase.

'NYPress' Sex Columnist Resigns Over Plagiarism In Her First Column One day after her first column hit the streets, the New York Press has accepted the resignation of its sex columnist, after Jezebel pointed out similarities between Claudia Lonow 's column and the work of Village Voice Media sex columnist Dan Savage. Lonow was "unaware that using questions from Savage's column was a breach of journalism ethics," reads the statement from editor David Blum ."We apologize to our readers, and to Dan Savage, for this error in judgment."

What if Clara Bow had been reborn as a "serious" actress? She was all set for City Streets in 1931, but Sylvia Sidney played it instead. Would we really enjoy seeing Clara doing Sylvia Sidney parts? I for one donât much enjoy seeing Sylvia Sidney doing Sylvia Sidney parts. A few of Nancy Carrollâs roles would have been nice with Clara - Hot Saturday comes to mind. These were the actresses Paramount was pushing in the new age of sound. Clara Bow âs contract was "settled" (she got nothing) and the actress announced she was through with movies. Married ranch life (her first) to future cowboy Rex Bell was briefly interrupted by a return to the screen for Fox Film Corporation. Two final curtain calls would be Call Her Savage and Hoopla . Savage is everything the title implies - it flies off in a thousand melodramatic directions, but sure delivers pre-code goods, more so than anything she did at staid Paramount (it shows up a lot on Fox Movie Channel - by all means, see it). It was also a hit - domestic rentals of $571,000 and foreign at $230,000 against a negative cost of $476,000 for a profit of $13,000 (greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com....chive.html)
