Days of Rage

[Jonathan Lighter]

Demonstrators in various Arab nations have announced various "Days of Rage"
in the last week or so - days of mass demonstration against their
governments.

The Wikipedes support my recollection that the phrase was first  applied
thus by the SDS in the US in 1969:

Am too lazy to look into it further.  I suppose "Dies Irae" may have been
a subliminal inspiration.
