EUGENIA Collier's arguments were more persuasive. Her rightful concern for the film's neglect of native Sea Islands culture follows from her profession (she teaches black literature at a Baltimore college). But her professional disposition may well be the sole source of her criticism. Although she says, "the Sea Islands actually have a very rich folk culture," she reiterates her charge instead of proving her argument. According to Conroy's book, The Water is Wide (the basis for Irving Ravetch and Harriett Frank Jr.'s script) pollution from surrounding factories ruined Yamacraw Island and starved its hunters and fishermen...
Prodigies are seldom lovable, and Macaulay was no exception. As a boy he was "loudmouthed and conceited," with a visible "neglect of cleanliness." As an adult he was variously described as a "mean, whitey-looking man" and "an ugly, cross-made, splayfooted, shapeless little dumpling of a fellow."

It is far too much to ask of a performer that his audience listen in total ignorance of the words. This neglect is even more glaring in light of the orchestra's willingness to publish the original soloist's biography on an insert that could have been...
Rosovsky's denial of University neglect was challenged yesterday by Imani Kazana, who said the University "could have done a whole lot more in following up on its commitments." Kazana also said that Harvard's priorities have "clearly shifted" away from the needs of the cultural center in the past five years...
...suited to internal drama than film, if only because most of our thoughts are verbal, not visual. Prose has more flexibility, too: It can freeze a moment and describe it in detail while a camera can only capture the immediacy of continuous time. The writer can add or deliberately neglect detail at just the right instant and with greater ease. In the opening scene for example, Joyce carefully describes Dedalus's cohort, Buck Mulligan, to reinforce an antagonistic mood...
