...these passages, unfortunately, the polemical quality comes through more clearly than the analysis. Her treatments of such diverse authors as Norman Mailer, Eldridge Cleaver, Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, and James Baldwin make sense from the point of view of her thesis, but are not always clear in their own right.

At first, he would not say why. But then he told the jury that he had learned from "confidential sources" that three of the prosecution's witnesses, including Elko, had "stolen" $176,000 from Flood.
