Kilpatrick Many writers have trouble with j right rite. We have a few horrid j examples. In the vegas review journal a learning to drive a ear is a hallowed right of passage in in the san Antonio express news a Hanson Williams turns to directing in Soldier boys a comedy about rights of passage in a military the Florida times Union recalled that an 18th-Century Hospital in St. Augustine maintained a priest constantly on duty to administer a last a right of passage is what a sailing ship has when it approaches a drawbridge. A rite of passage is something else like a girl s first kiss or a boys first fight. The sacrament of anointing the sick is a last rite. Writers at opposite Corners of the nation have tripped on an easy one. In Washington state the Seattle weekly noted that when Victor Hugo wrote los Mise rubles a the was already in exile on the Lamb from the goons of in Palm Beach fla., a to critic for the Post liked the i x lives of Black Jack Savage involving a character who was a on the Lamb from a Federal Stock swindling Barnhart a dictionary of etymology cites a first written usage of a a lamp in 1897, but finds the words origin Uncertain. Final note to papers in Oregon gang killings and Highway fatalities Arentt a a grizzly death that a one mix up that a hard to Bear. Cassandra. Is everyone straight on Cassandra several years ago a columnist with the Chicago Sun times had a Fine time denouncing a number of experts whose gloomy economic predictions had been invariably wrong. He called the Cassan dras. But the gloomy predictions of dear old Cassandra were invariably right. In these areas symbiosis fails. The proximity of writer and Reader is the same but something has been lost. The relationship falters. Inapt allusions arc probably the least of a writers worries. What of vocabulary Are we speaking the same language a writer on medical topics spoke learn edly of Desque mation of the Scalp. He was talking about Dandruff. In the Wall Street journal a movie critic looked at when Harry Mel Sally and described Sally As a a smugly Perky anal you could have fooled me. Vanity fair let us know a few years ago that All the divine people in new York were eagerly awaiting the Vernissage of the work of Robert Mapplethorpe. I Haven to been to a Vernissage in just years and years. A Federal Eire it judge ruled last Spring that a on this chiaroscuro record Quot no reasonable conclusions could be reached.
