John Tytell, 1997

In "The Living Theater: Art, Exile, and Outrage", 1997, John Tytell says on page 97:

"What the play required was a fabulous display of passion, Julian observed, but Tobi's sterile, shallow and pedantic direction put Judith in a straitjacket"

Interesting usage, as it's combined with "sterile", and is also offered as an opposite to "passion". I don't think he really pulls it off, and he's really just use the words for their own sake here, not that there's anything wrong with that.
