c. The late J. Pierpont Morgan dictating a railroad merger. Morgan would sit at his desk, absolutely impervious to the pleas and arguments of his opponents, who were to be wiped out. He would point with a rigidly extended forefinger to the agreeme^^ to be signed. Suddenly he would lean over the desk and bang it with his right fist with tremendous force, and pens and inkwells would bounce off his desk. His mustache would be drawn back in a tiger-like glare, very like the expression of Dempsey in the ring. Yet, the expression of his eyes would be cold and impersonal. His dominance was of an intellectual nature, and its physical expression was modified accordingly.
d. A baby howling at the top of its voice and beating the side of its crib with hands and feet.
e. A husband smashing his wife’s pet china because she has told him she will not do as he asks.
