Scapegoats | Gorbachev | Timpson | Hawthorn | Danny Drinkwater
It is surprising that your stimulating and relevant supplement (Age of rage:
the ultimate guide to
anger, 11 May) appears to overlook a major effect of
anger: scapegoating, ie the displacement of anger from its authentic cause to
another target, an innocent or uninvolved victim of the displaced emotion. It
is surely key to say something about this pervasive behaviour given its
disturbing destructive effects.

• Timothy Garton Ash speaks of “the miraculously non-violent collapse in
1989-91 of a nuclear-armed Russian empire” (The long
read, 9 May). This formulation fails completely to acknowledge
the role of Gorbachev in the process of change at the time and later. We owe
him a lot.
