As you know "oxy" has a Greek origin, meaning acute, sharp etc. and
is commonly associated chemically with oxygen. Well, the story has it
that Ebert suffered brain damage as an infant from oxygen deprivation,
and in spite of his disability, due to his unusual gift of gab, was able to
weasel his way into cinematic criticism. The irony is that he won a
Pulitzer Prize for his work!
In retrospect, I would change "walking" to "sitting". - AH
