Tippett's work was abandoned (to this day, Steven Spielberg has never apologized for his abrupt decision to not use their work),Why should he? For example, I'm still grumped that Spielberg dropped his option on the movie rights to Heinlein's 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress', but I certainly wouldn't have expected him to be obligated to go to production just because he had the option.
