One of the many people she met in his classes was the California dancer Margaret Jenkins, who went on to become a leading choreographer in the Bay Area. Ms. Jenkins, in a recent email, recalled the Ms. Neels of 1963 as “kind, thoughtful and exact.”
“One just knew she would add a haunting quality to the work,” she wrote.

桑德拉·尼爾斯於1939年9月21日出生於拉斯維加斯，在俄勒岡州波特蘭長大。她的父親弗蘭克·F·尼爾斯是一位電工，同時也是一位出色的交際舞者。她的母親伊迪絲·尼爾斯（伊迪絲·瓦萊魯克斯·尼爾斯），人稱瓦爾，是一位歌手、藝人和鋼琴家，畢業於波特蘭的瓊·馬洛里舞蹈學校。桑德拉和她的妹妹謝麗爾就是在那裡學習踢踏舞和芭蕾舞的。Among the qualities that Cunningham helped Ms. Neels develop was a capacity for slowness bordering on stillness. She was often matched to striking effect with the company’s first African American dancer, Gus Solomons Jr., who, like Ms. Neels, was tall, slender and leggy. (Mr. Solomons died in 2023.)

Bill Cunningham, Legendary Times Fashion Photographer, Dies
In nearly 40 years working for The New York Times, Mr. Cunningham operated both as a chronicler of fashion and as an unlikely cultural anthropologist. He was 87.

Bill Cunningham on Bill Cunningham
What It Was Like to Be Photographed by Him
The New York Times - Lens - Photography 更新了封面相片。
“When I’m photographing,” Bill Cunningham once said, “I look for the personal style with which something is worn — sometimes even how an umbrella is carried or how a coat is held closed. At parties, it’s important to be almost invisible, to catch people when they’re oblivious to the camera — to get the intensity of their speech, the gestures of their hands. I’m interested in capturing a moment with animation and spirit.”

記錄中國群體事件的自媒體人盧昱宇被捕
黃安偉 2016年6月28日
北京——一位在過去幾年一直在記錄中國各地勞工抗議活動的人士已自6月中旬起被當局拘留，他的朋友在週一這樣說道。
與他經常在網上有聯繫的作家許暉在電話中說，這位維權人士叫盧昱宇，家住西南地區的大理市，6月16日，他在那裡被警方拘留。
大理是雲南省一個受歡迎的、被群山包圍的旅遊勝地，近年來吸引了越來越多的中國人，他們想要逃離繁忙又污染嚴重的城市中心。許暉也住在大理，他說，他已經去過兩次關押盧昱宇的拘留所，但都未被獲許見到他。
許暉及另一位朋友衛小兵說，當局指控盧昱宇和他的女友李婷玉犯有「尋釁滋事罪」。李婷玉也一直在記錄工潮事件。
中國警方正在越來越頻繁地利用「尋釁滋事罪」來壓制異見。四川省的自由派活躍人士陳雲飛，因主張紀念1989年的天安門大屠殺，預計將於週四因同樣的罪名受審。
盧昱宇的老家在西南部的貴州省，是一名農民工，他通過社交媒體和其他在線平台上的數據，收集整理勞工抗議事件的信息，並把他的發現發到自己的社交媒體帳號上。
這些帳號經常被審查者刪除，警方以前也在其家中對他進行過詢問。
「他住在大理，相當低調，」衛小兵還在電話中說。「他並沒有在網上公布過太多的個人信息。」
衛小兵說，他幾天前帶着兩名律師在廣東省佛山市見了李婷玉的父親。他說，律師正試圖贏得李父的信任，以幫助這對情侶。
隨着中國經濟的放緩，全國各地的勞工抗議和罷工等群體事件數目有所增長。據總部設在香港的勞工權益團體「中國勞工通訊」的統計，2015年共發生了2700起抗議和罷工事件，是一年前的兩倍。
共產黨領導人知道大規模勞工抗議的潛在政治影響，因為共產黨是建立在以工人革命為核心的意識形態之上的。但是，最近大部分的勞工抗議關心的都是拖欠工資和福利問題，而不是表達普遍的政治不滿情緒。
「公民記者盧昱宇和李婷玉通過觀察和記錄中國的社會動蕩問題，提供了一種獨特而寶貴的資源，」中國勞工通訊發言人郭展睿(Geoffrey Crothall)說。「面對這些問題，當局不着手解決社會動蕩的根源，反而『打擊報信人』的做法，只會讓事情變得更糟。」
更正：本文稍早前將盧昱宇的另一位朋友的姓名音譯為「魏曉斌」，應為「衛小兵」，特此更正。
