...remove cataracts. I have spent a number of hours over the past several years explaining to patients that lasers are not used in the removal of cataracts. In fact, the presence of a cataract many times precludes using the laser in treatment of diseases of the back of the eye, since the laser beam will not penetrate a dense cataract...
Flinty Intransigence. The result is that Still has become a respected enigma. He is seen as a model of flinty intransigence, and looks it: a gaunt, atrabilious figure of 71 with a cutting eye, he has managed to control the fate of his work more effectively than any other artist of his generation.

All of them keep an eye on the fragile, mad-eyed actress Anita (Lois Smith), who periodically attempts suicide...
