>From Frank Manuel's bio of Newton:

348: "The violence, acerbity, and uncontrolled passion of Newton's 
attacks, albeit directed into socially approved channels, are almost 
always out of all proportion with the warranted facts and character of 
the situations .. So deep is the hurt and so boundless the anger, 
however, that he cannot be appeased as long as he lives. His victories 
do not assuage; his anger is replenished by what it feeds upon."
