pos: Angela Lansbury Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury , ( born 16 October 1925 ) is a British-American-Irish actress who has appeared in theatre , television and film , as well as a producer , voice actress , singer , and songwriter . Her career has spanned seven decades , much of it in the United States , and her work has attracted international attention .   Lansbury was born to an upper-middle-class family in central London , the daughter of actress Moyna Macgill and politician Edgar Lansbury . To escape the Blitz , in 1940 she moved to the United States with her mother and two younger brothers , and studied acting in New York City . Proceeding to Hollywood in 1942 , she signed to MGM and obtained her first film roles , in Gaslight ( 1944 ) and The Picture of Dorian Gray ( 1945 ) , earning her two Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe Award . She appeared in eleven further MGM films , mostly in minor roles , and after her contract ended in 1952 she began supplementing her cinematic work with theatrical appearances . Although largely seen as a B-list star during this period , her appearance in the film The Manchurian Candidate ( 1962 ) received widespread acclaim and is cited as being one of her finest performances . Moving into musical theatre , Lansbury finally gained stardom for playing the leading role in the Broadway musical Mame ( 1966 ) , which earned her a range of awards and established her as a gay icon .   Amid difficulties in her personal life , Lansbury moved from California to County Cork , Ireland , in 1970 , and continued with a variety of theatrical and cinematic appearances throughout that decade . These included leading roles in the stage musicals Gypsy , Sweeney Todd , and The King and I , as well as in the hit Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks ( 1971 ) . Moving into television , she achieved worldwide fame as fictional writer and sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series Murder , She Wrote , which ran for twelve seasons from 1984 until 1996 , becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history . Through Corymore Productions , a company that she co-owned with her husband Peter Shaw , Lansbury assumed ownership of the series and was its executive producer for the final four seasons . She also moved into voice work , thereby contributing to animated films such as Disney 's Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) . Since then , she has toured in a variety of international theatrical productions and continued to make occasional film appearances .   In 2014 , Lansbury was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in a ceremony at Windsor Castle for `` services to drama , charitable work , and philanthropy . '' Lansbury has received an Honorary Oscar and has won five Tony Awards , six Golden Globes , an Olivier Award , and one Grammy Award .

neg: Angela Smith (squash player) Angela Smith ( born 3 July 1953 in Stoke-on-Trent , Staffordshire , England ) is a retired professional English squash player : Smith was one of the world 's top ranked squash players from 1979 to 1990 . Smith was also the first female squash player to turn professional and widely recognized for changing the face of women 's squash by doing so .   Her first overseas position was as squash coach at the prestigious Vertical Club in Manhattan , New York , where Vitas Gerulaitis was the tennis pro . Her contract there was said to be the most lucrative of its kind in the sport at that time . There she coached many famous personalities of the time such as Jackie Kennedy , the widow of the US president . Following her successful period in the States and her significant input into the Women 's Sport Foundation of America , Smith took up an even greater challenge in Nassau , Bahamas where she took squash from the realms of an expat sport to one embraced by locals . She was instrumental in Shell sponsoring the squash programme and several of the juniors that Smith coached later went on to play on the world circuit themselves . Following her six years in Nassau , she was based in Barcelona , Spain at the Can Melich club where she was again a great success , helping to organise amongst other events the European Junior championships . She also coached and helped further develop the game in Hong Kong , Bermuda , Trinidad and Tobago , St Vincent and Kenya to name a few of the countries . All this whilst jetting to and from the UK and world circuits to compete in the necessary events to allow her to represent her country and also maintain her place in the world rankings . Indeed , after Smith 's immediate success as a professional , making a career from tournament play rather than just coaching , Sue Cogswell followed suit at the end of 1980 and the UK women 's squash game was quickly forced to become `` open '' ; the rest of the world swiftly followed suit and today 's lady professionals owe a debt to Angela particularly and those brave enough to join her in those early days namely the Australians Sue Newman , Barbara Wall and Lyle Hubinger .

It is home to the longest leisure pier in the world , Southend Pier . London Southend Airport is located 1.5 NM north of the town centre .   Southend-on-Sea originally consisted of a few poor fisherman huts and farms at the southern end of the village of Prittlewell . In the 1790s the first buildings around what was to become the High Street of Southend were completed . In the 19th century Southend 's status of a seaside resort grew after a visit from Princess Caroline of Brunswick , and Southend Pier was constructed . From the 1960s onwards the town declined as a holiday destination .

neg: London Borough of Croydon The London Borough of Croydon is a London borough in south London , England and is part of Outer London . It covers an area of 87 km2 and is the largest London borough by population . It is the southernmost borough of London . At its centre is the historic town of Croydon from which the borough takes its name . Croydon is mentioned in Domesday Book , and from a small market town has expanded into one of the most populous areas on the fringe of London . Croydon is the civic centre of the borough . The borough is now one of London 's leading business , financial and cultural centres , and its influence in entertainment and the arts contribute to its status as a major metropolitan centre .   Formed in 1965 from the Coulsdon and Purley Urban District and the County Borough of Croydon , the local authority Croydon London Borough Council , is now part of the local government association for Greater London , London Councils . The economic strength of Croydon dates back mainly to Croydon Airport which was a major factor in the development of Croydon as a business centre . Once London 's main airport for all international flights to and from the capital , it was closed on 30 September 1959 due to the lack of expansion space needed for an airport to serve the growing city . It is now a Grade II listed building and tourist attraction . Croydon Council and its predecessor Croydon Corporation unsuccessfully applied for city status in 1954 , 2000 , 2002 and 2012 . The area is currently going through a large regeneration project called Croydon Vision 2020 which is predicted to attract more businesses and tourists to the area as well as backing Croydon 's bid to become London 's Third City ( after ` The City ' and Westminster ) . Croydon is mostly urban , though there are large suburban and rural uplands in the south . Since 2003 Croydon has been certified as a Fairtrade borough by the Fairtrade Foundation . It was the first London Borough to have Fairtrade status which is awarded on certain criteria .   The area is one of the hearts of culture in London and the South East of England . Institutions such as the major arts and entertainment centre Fairfield Halls add to the vibrancy of the borough . However , its famous fringe theatre `` the Warehouse Theatre '' was put under administration in 2012 when the council withdrew its funding and the building itself was demolished in 2013 . The Croydon Clocktower was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994 as an arts venue featuring a library , the independent David Lean Cinema ( closed by the council in 2011 after 16 years of operating , but now partially reopened on a part-time and volunteers basis ) and museum . From 2000 to 2010 , Croydon staged an annual summer festival celebrating the area 's black and Indian cultural diversity , with audiences reaching over 50,000 people . An internet radio station , Croydon Radio , is run by local people for the area . The borough is also home to its own local TV station , Croydon TV . Premier League football club Crystal Palace F.C. play at Selhurst Park in South Norwood , a stadium they have been based in since 1924 . Other landmarks in the borough include Addington Palace , an 18th-century mansion which became the official second residence of six archbishops , Shirley Windmill , one of the few surviving large windmills in Greater London built in the 1850s , and the BRIT School , a creative arts institute run by the BRIT Trust which has produced artists such as Adele , Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis .

neg: The Great Moment (1944 film) The Great Moment is a 1944 biographical film written and directed by Preston Sturges . Based on the book Triumph Over Pain ( 1940 ) by René Fülöp-Miller , it tells the story of Dr. William Thomas Green Morton , a 19th-century Boston dentist who discovered the use of ether for general anesthesia . The film stars Joel McCrea and Betty Field , and features Harry Carey , William Demarest , Franklin Pangborn and Porter Hall .   The movie was filmed in 1942 but not released for over two years , and the released version differed from what Preston Sturges had wished , although he publicly accepted the film as his own . Paramount Pictures disliked the film Sturges had made , and pulled it from his control , re-titled and re-edited it , in the process making it ( especially in the early segment ) more confusing for the audience to understand . The studio 's released version was marketed in a way that made it appear to be one of Sturges ' comedies . The film was not well received by the critics or the public , and marked the end of a sustained run of success for Sturges , who had already left Paramount by the time the film was released .   Although rarely seen today , the film is worth viewing for its flashback structure -- comparable in some ways to Citizen Kane , which was influenced by the earlier film The Power and the Glory , for which Sturges wrote the screenplay -- and for its irreverent and subtly satirical tone , unusual for a time when most Hollywood biopics were over-inflated and sentimental . In 2003 a medical-dental historian in a lengthy analysis of the movie and its history -- which cited its flashback structure , timeless subject , injections of humor , and `` un-Pasteur-like '' treatment of its protagonist , while adhering reasonably well to the historical record -- concluded that `` The Great Moment may now be due for a general reevaluation by movie historians and critics who , like most folks , have never felt much affection for dentists past and present .

neg: National church This article discusses ` national churches ' in the ethnic sense . See state church for church organizations at a national level . For Catholic churches in Rome associated with various countries , see National churches in Rome .   A national church is a Christian church associated with a specific ethnic group or nation state . The idea was notably discussed during the 19th century , during the emergence of modern nationalism .   Samuel Taylor Coleridge , in a draft discussing the question of church and state around 1828 wrote that  `` a National Church might exist , and has existed , without -LSB- Christianity -RSB- , because before the institution of the Christian Church - as -LSB- ... -RSB- the Levitical Church in the Hebrew Constitution , -LSB- and -RSB- the Druidical in the Celtic , would suffice to prove '' .   John Wordsworth , Bishop of Salisbury , wrote about the National Church of Sweden in 1911 , interpreting the Church of Sweden and the Church of England as national churches of the Swedish and the English peoples , respectively . Lake ( 1987 ) traces the development of Presbyterianism in 16th-century England from the status of a `` godly minority '' which saw itself surrounded by the corrupt or hostile mass of the population , into a `` genuine national church '' .   The concept of a national church remains alive in the Protestantism of England and Scandinavia in particular . While , in a context of England , the national church remains a common denominator for the Church of England , some of the Lutheran `` folk churches '' of Scandinavia , characterized as national churches in the ethnic sense as opposed to the idea of a state church , emerged in the second half of the 19th century following the lead of Grundtvig . However , in countries in which the state church ( also known as the established church ) has the following of the majority of citizens , the state church may also be the national church , and may be declared as such by the government e.g. Church of Denmark , Church of Greece , Church of Iceland .

neg: Church of Saint Edmund, Rochdale Saint Edmund 's Church ( or the Church of Saint Edmund ) is a redundant church building located on Clement Royds Street in the Falinge area of Rochdale , in Greater Manchester , England . Commissioned by Rochdale 's local industrialist and Freemason Albert Royds , the construction of the building was completed to a high and rich specification in 1873 , with an `` enormous '' cost of around # 25,000 ( # in ) . It is the only known church building in England so overtly dedicated to Masonic symbolism and is therefore unique within English architecture .   Art critic Nikolaus Pevsner described the building as `` Rochdale 's temple to Freemasonry , a total concept as exotic as Roslin Chapel in Scotland '' . Because of the building 's craftsmanship , design and prevalent Masonic theme , St Edmund 's Church was recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II * listed building in 1985 . The church closed for worship in 2007 , and in 2009 , The Victorian Society identified the building as `` unusual and extraordinary '' but also critically endangered . St Edmund 's heritage status was upgraded to a Grade I listing in 2010 in recognition of its unique Masonic architecture and exceptional architectural interest . It has since been acquired by the Churches Conservation Trust .

neg: Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song The Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song was a new category at the 2015 ceremony of the annual Grammy Awards . It combines two previously separate categories in the Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music field , Best Contemporary Christian Music Song and Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance . The new category recognizes both songwriters and performers ( solo/duos/groups / collaborations/etc . ) and is open for singles or tracks only .

Along with the also newly formed Best Gospel Performance/Song category , these mark the only Grammy categories which honor both performers and songwriters in one category .   These changes were made in June 2014 by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences `` in the interest of clarifying the criteria , representing the current culture and creative DNA of the gospel and Contemporary Christian Music communities , and better reflecting the diversity and authenticity of today 's gospel music industry . ''   According to the Grammy committee , the move recognizes `` the critical contribution of both songwriters and performers by combining songwriters and artists into the Best Gospel Performance/Song and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song categories . ''   Gospel performances , which were previously recognized in the Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance category , will now fall under the newly created Best Gospel Performance/Song category .

neg: Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary On May 14 , 1988 , the Atlantic Records label held its 40th Anniversary Celebration by staging a non-stop concert lasting almost 13 hours at Madison Square Garden , New York . The event was dubbed `` It 's Only Rock And Roll '' .   Only artists who had released material on the Atlantic label in the United States performed , with the artists spanning the 40 years of the company 's existence . Lavern Baker and Ruth Brown were the longest tenured Atlantic acts to perform , while Debbie Gibson was the most recent Atlantic signing to make an appearance at the event .   Some Atlantic signings , who had either officially split up or who had not performed together for a number of years , re-formed especially to perform at the concert . These artists included The Rascals , Iron Butterfly , and the former members of Led Zeppelin . Other notable performers included Yes , Genesis , Crosby , Stills & Nash , Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer ( representing Emerson , Lake & Palmer ) , Foreigner , Paul Rodgers , Bob Geldof , Booker T. Jones , Wilson Pickett , The Coasters , The Spinners , Peabo Bryson , The Blues Brothers ( featuring Dan Aykroyd and Sam Moore ) , Roberta Flack , The Manhattan Transfer , Bee Gees , Ben E. King and Vanilla Fudge .   There had been plans to close the performance with a greatest hits all-star jam , but this idea was shelved . Instead , the former members of Led Zeppelin performed as the last act .   The concert was broadcast live in the US on FM radio and HBO television , commentary for the latter being provided backstage by comedian Robert Townsend . HBO commenced its live broadcast a few hours into the event and interspersed footage of the concert which had been taped earlier by the network .

Several banners heralding the reunion of Led Zeppelin band members were displayed like tapestry by excited fans , but , to their dismay , were taken down before HBO went with their live feed . The Audio was recorded by David Hewitt and Stanley Johnston on the Record Plant Black Truck .   In the United Kingdom the event was broadcast over a period of four weeks by BBC 2 , presented as hour-long episodes . Atlantic Records later released this production on video under the title Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary : It 's Only Rock 'n' Roll . The release intercut concert footage with highlights from earlier performances , as well as older footage from the Atlantic archives .

Guenther makes paintings , sculptures , and photographs , and his works often combine elements of painting and sculpture , as he has incorporated items such as underwear , T-shirts , sunglasses , and cigars into his paintings and more recently begun employing papier-mâché and gold and silver leaf in his mixed-media pieces . While Guenther 's earlier work , which referenced death metal , zombies , satyrs , hippie kitsch and drew comparisons to painters such as Francisco Goya and Hieronymous Bosch , has been called `` iconoclastic , demented , decadent , '' his more recent paintings have focused on a recurring `` Plate Face '' character , whales , dolphins , and more abstract concerns and have been described as evocative of Abstract Expressionism and outsider art .   In his photography , Guenther often works in black and white , in part because of what he identifies as its documentary aspect , which helps to free his images from the clutter of unintended cultural references .

neg: Audax Minor Audax Minor ( 1887 -- October 8 , 1979 ) , the pen name of George F. T. Ryall , was a Canadian writer who worked as the horse racing columnist for The New Yorker for 52 years .   Born in Toronto , Ryall was sent to England to be educated in 1900 .

neg: John Lemesurier John LeMesurier ( 1826 -- 1891 ) was a Canadian politician , serving as Mayor of Quebec City from January 1868 to November 1869 .   John Le Mesurier ( or Lemesurier/LeMesurier ) left his native Gaspe to make his mark in Quebec City . One biographer has depicted him as a poor young man from `` the lowest rung of the ladder , '' although Quebec Bishop Charles Inglis , who visited `` Gaspe East '' in 1789 , wrote of the Le Mesurier family in this context : `` There are several brothers of this name , who deal in this business . They generally catch from 10,000 to 12,000 quintals ( one quintal being 100 kilograms ) of fish every year , and sometimes bring over 100 fishermen from Guernsey for the season . '' The biographer does acknowledge John did as a youth work `` in the fishery business in his father 's establishment . ''   John LeMesurier was the son of Charles LeMesurier , who was born on Jersey , and who served in the Royal Navy under the British Vice Admiral , Lord Horatio Nelson , for nine years and was present at the famed engagement at Trafalgar , where Lord Nelson lost his life at age 47 .   John LeMesurier was born in 1826 , received his education on the Gaspe and November 1847 sailed on board the schooner `` Antelope '' for Quebec . It was wrecked coming up the St. Lawrence . He returned to the Gaspe and embarked on the `` Mary ; '' he was then wrecked a second time . It is reported that , enduring great hardship and privation , Le Mesurier and crew members walked over the snow and ice to Sault au Cauchon . He stayed there with two crew members and worked for the Price family . The remaining crew members headed for Quebec City .   The following spring , LeMesurier crossed to the south shore and made his way on foot to Quebec , then returned to the fishery business in the Gaspe . Young Le Mesurier set out a third time for Quebec City . The schooner took 21 days , but this time he made it to his destination . His first job was with a Mr. Withall who became vice president of the Quebec Bank .   In the second year a trifling increase was made to his small salary . Finally , Withall sold his business to Le Mesurier , who made a success of it . Next he started an oakum manufactory , probably to help a brother , but it did not prosper . In 1859 , he was elected to the city council , and in 1867 was elected mayor , defeating the sitting mayor , Joseph Cauchon , who later became governor of Manitoba . Following John 's first term , the people of Quebec re-elected him by acclamation .   During the first year of his mayoralty , John Le Mesurier , delivered the welcome address to H. R. H. Prince Arthur and dined with him at a dinner given by Sir Narcisse Belleau at the Stadacona Club . While Le Mesurier retained office as chief magistrate , a labor riot broke out . He was ordered to read the Riot Act , but this he refused to do . Instead , he courageously went amidst the rioters and , by diplomatic persuasion , induced them to disperse . Because armed troops had been ordered up , Le Mesurier 's cool headed daring probably saved bloodshed .   Mr LeMesurier was actively engaged in Liberal party politics , and in October 1877 was asked to introduce Wilfrid Laurier to a meeting that took place in his store . In his introduction , he is reported to have `` made a very able speech against the corrupt government to which Mr. Laurier was opposing his energy and talents , '' and `` spoke in felicitous terms of the great reforms made by the reform parties all over the world , and said that if the just measures of reformers had been carried out , we would not have discontent or disaffection anywhere . ''   John LeMesurier married Marie Sylvain of Quebec , a French Canadian Catholic who was 12 years his senior , and they had five children . In 1870 , he opened a brewery and tannery , but not satisfied with the results , he gave them up and , in 1873 , went into tobacco manufacturing , taking his sons William and Henry as partners . This enterprise became one of the largest of its type in the province .   In addition , John LeMesurier became owner of fairly extensive real estate holdings . A biographer , writing in a flowery 19th-century style , gives John Le Mesurier very high marks for his accomplishments in Quebec City , saying `` Possibly , in Quebec City , there is no man stands higher ` rated ' amongst the banking community , with whom he has always done business , than John Le Mesurier . ''   John LeMesurier died in 1891 , and is buried next to his wife , Marie , in Mount Hermon cemetery in the Sillery neighbourhood of Quebec City .

neg: John Beverley (Latin Americanist) John Randolph Beverley II is a literary and cultural critic who works at the University of Pittsburgh . He is a professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature and Cultural Studies as well as an adjunct professor in the English and communication departments . He was influential in co-founding the Latin American subaltern studies group as well as a founding member of the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies at the University of Pittsburgh .   PhD , University of California at San Diego .   Visiting professor at Stanford University , University of California -- San Diego , Universidad Andina Simon Bolivar , University of Minnesota , University of Washington .   No one who has read the work of John Beverley will doubt his importance as one of the most key U.S.-based Latin Americanist cultural and literary theorists of his generation . But what is the nature of that importance ? Overall it is his commitment to revolutionary changes that would end the differences between rich and poor in Latin America and make a new and revolutionary democratic culture corresponding to the people 's economic and political democratic revolutions . It is this dual emphasis on democracy and the people -- the workers , the masses , los de abajo , the multitude , and ultimately , his preferred designation , the subalter -- that distinguishes his work as a Latin Americanist .   Born into a prosperous Anglo American family residing in South America , he became sensitive to the poverty and misery in which so many lived even as he had all the benefits of his class and caste . In this sense , his life goal has been to negate such differences . As a non-Hispanic student of Spanish literature , he gradually turned to Latin American themes , but always relating them to Spanish , but also U.S. , European and worldwide concerns as he knew them more than most from his special point of enunciation . At Princeton and then at the University of California , San Diego , he focused on Spanish Peninsular literature with the likes of Américo Castro , Carlos Blanco Aguinaga , and Claudio Guillén ; and he ventured to study with the young Fredric Jameson who was developing sophisticated methods for a rich Marxist approach to cultural and literary phenomena . The first result was a fine Marxist interpretation of Gongora 's Soledades as his dissertation and first book . But early on , the center of his interests began to drift from Spain to Latin America , impelled by the political hopes of the 60s and 70s and given weight by his application of his understanding of the Baroque to the development and structural situation of literature as a colonial and postcolonial institution in the Americas . Probably his early interest was spurred on by the dichotomy Américo Castro claimed existed in the Spanish literary tradition between state-centered officialist castizo structures and those emanating from converso and other trends helped lead him to examine the relation of literature to different social groups and structures of power . As a self-proclaimed Marxist and activist , he developed his literary work in relation to the Institute of Ideologies and Literatures in Minnesota , seeking to find progressive dimensions of literature and criticism that transcended state-centered powers of structure . That effort culminated in his Del Lazarillo a Sandinismo and his book with Marc Zimmerman , Literature and Politics in the Central American Revolutions . But that book also marked the limit of his hopes in Latin America 's Marxism and in literature as he began to doubt the very social groups of letrados which both produced the area 's cultural leftism and even its most leftist literature .  Already Beverley had written crucial texts on a form of literature which was in some ways anti-literature , the testimonio , a subject which becomes central to the question of popular representation in Literature and Politics . But along with his literary concerns came his growing suspicion that Latin America 's own ideological structures prevented the area 's most progressive intellectuals from grasping their own reality -- a position not received very favorably by his Latin American intellectual colleagues and friends . With the end of the cold war , the defeat of the Sandinistas and the full emergence of postmodern perspectives in Latin Americanist discourse , he produced a key collection called The Post-Modern Debate in Latin America . While working on that text , he along with Ileana Rodríguez and others , co-founded the Latin American Subaltern Studies group , seeking a new post-cold war/post-sandinista post/postmodedrn theorization of the relations between culture , literature and political possibility , which he and other members ( following Ernesto Laclau and others involved in cultural studies theory , but above all the South Asian Subaltern studies Group -- at first through Gayatri Spivack and then more directly through R. Guha and others ) saw as centered not directly on social classes but on the social groups and movements that struggled for empowerment and expression in the Americas . A first articulation of his evolving views came with the publication of the provocative Against Literature , a transitional work which , from a subalternist perspective , poses literature and existing literary studies ( even leftwing versions ) as implicated in hegemonic modernization projects at odds with subaltern positions . This view , now developed in relation to developing Latin American cultural studies discourse and in relation to the full emergence of globalization as the new macro-narrative of the post-postmodern period , became the subject of Subalternity and Representation , which appeared in 1999 . The Latin American subaltern group dissolved early in our new century , but Beverley has continued working , co-developing a Pittsburgh University Press book series called `` Illuminations : Cultural Formations of the Americas , '' publishing a new collection on Cuban literature , re-publishing his book with Hugo Achugar on testimonio , and completing his own definitive take on the theme , in Testimonio : The Politics of Truth ( 2004 ) . Meanwhile , he has kept abreast of all the polemics surrounding Latin American Cultural Studies in relation to globalization and the new lefts in Latin America , culminating in his recent volume , Latin Americanism after 9/11 . This volume argues for a new situation for Latin America in the emerging global order , especially in view of Chavez , Evo Morales and the other new left figures which have emerged in recent years and have threatened older paradigms of left and right that circulated in previous decades . This small book is replete with acute analyses of the failed politics of Zapatismo , and the `` neo-conservative turn '' which he imputes to his arielist antagonists on the Latin American left .  Beverley has always found the polemical edge to make his voice heard . He has been probably the major target of his friends and students seeking to up their cultural capital by mounting arguments against his views . At times depressed by the constant debates , but pleased ever to be part of them , he repeatedly speaks of ending his Latin Americanist effort , only to try again as he ... keeps on rollin ' on .

neg: Manhattan Transfer (novel) Manhattan Transfer is an American novel by John Dos Passos published in 1925 . It focuses on the development of urban life in New York City from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age as told through a series of overlapping individual stories .   It is considered to be one of Dos Passos ' most important works . The book attacks the consumerism and social indifference of contemporary urban life , portraying a Manhattan that is merciless yet teeming with energy and restlessness . The book shows some of Dos Passos ' experimental writing techniques and narrative collages that would become more pronounced in his U.S.A. trilogy and other later works . The technique in Manhattan Transfer was inspired in part by James Joyce 's Ulysses ( 1922 ) , T. S. Eliot 's The Waste Land , and experiments with film collage by Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein .   Sinclair Lewis described it as `` a novel of the very first importance ... The dawn of a whole new school of writing . '' D. H. Lawrence called it `` the best modern book about New York '' he had ever read , describing it as `` a very complete  film ... of the vast loose gang of strivers and winners and losers which seems to be the very pep of New York . '' In a blurb for a European edition , Ernest Hemingway wrote that , alone among American writers , Dos Passos has `` been able to show to Europeans the America they really find when they come here .

neg: Lion dance Lion dance is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture and other Asian countries in which performers mimic a lion 's movements in a lion costume . The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other Chinese traditional , cultural and religious festivals . It may also be performed at important occasions such as business opening events , special celebrations or wedding ceremonies , or may be used to honour special guests by the Chinese communities .   The Chinese lion dance is sometimes mistakenly referred to as dragon dance . An easy way to tell the difference is that a lion is normally operated by just two dancers , while a dragon is longer and needs many people . Also , in a lion dance , the performers ' faces are only seen occasionally , since they are inside the lion . In a dragon dance , the performers ' faces can be easily seen since the dragon is held on poles . Chinese lion dance fundamental movements can be found in most Chinese martial arts .   There are two main forms of the Chinese lion dance , the Northern Lion and the Southern Lion . Both forms are commonly found in China , but around the world especially in South East Asia , the Southern Lion predominates as it was spread by the Chinese diaspora communities who are historically mostly of Southern Chinese origin . Versions of the lion dance are also found in Japan , Korea , Tibet and Vietnam . Another form of lion dance exists in Indonesian culture , but it may be of a different tradition and may be referred to as Singa Barong .
