  Bahamian History On-line/Bahamian Educators/James Carmichael Smyth
Smyth, a sincere sympathiser with the cause of the slaves, was a keen abolitionist, and bucked the members of the Bahamian Legislature and influential whites more than once.
Smyth, as he had admitted, had paid much attention to the amelioration and emancipation of the slaves and of the freed coloured population.
Smyth in his effort to better slave conditions and those of the free coloured populations, must be seen as an early local hero.

The Smyth Report was the common name given to an administrative history written by physicist Henry DeWolf Smyth about the Allied World War II effort to develop the atomic bomb, the Manhattan Project.
For this reason, the Smyth Report focused heavily on information already available in declassified literature, such as much of the basic nuclear physics used in weapons, which was either already widely known in the scientific community or could have been easily deduced by a competent scientist.

 Youth in Violently Divided Societies by Marie Smyth: Senior Fellow Project Reports: U.S. Institute of Peace
In many societies, Smyth stressed, the channeling of this energy through the discipline of a military organization is considered to be a positive and formative experience for young people, thereby affording them with a structure and direction at a period of their lives when such discipline has not yet been internalized.
By and large, Smyth argued, they did not join the military or the police either because of widespread political resentment toward state security forces within their communities or because they were expressly banned by the state from doing so.
Smyth noted that young people in all three regions described how they covertly engaged in military training with non-state groups and lied to their parents and families about their whereabouts.

 globeandmail.com: Smyth: 'I never thought it would come to this day'
Ryan Smyth, the Oilers' hometown hero and the so-called face of the franchise, was on his way to New York, for what he called the next chapter in his hockey-playing life — with the Islanders, the team that acquired his playing rights Tuesday, in a blockbuster deal just before the NHL trading deadline.
Smyth was also asked several times if he'd consider returning to Edmonton in July as an unrestricted free agent.
Smyth acknowledged that in his conversations with Lowe, the latter did tell him that the Oilers were obliged to explore "the option" of a trade, if they couldn't get him signed to a contract extension.

 globeandmail.com: Smyth trade sends shockwaves
Losing Smyth, the team's top scorer and a potential unrestricted free agent in the summer, was a cruel blow; a reminder of that dark era when Doug Weight, Bill Guerin, Anson Carter and so many others left because of finances.
Then came the bitter news that Smyth, unable to agree to a new contract worth roughly $5.5-million (all dollar figures U.S.) a season, was being shipped to the far side of the continent, a place so far away Oilers fans won't be able to watch him and moan about what could have been.
Smyth is no longer the battered face of a team that has to finish out the season when all is noticeably lost.

 Bleacher Report - When a Greedy Man Cries: Ryan Smyth, Edmonton Oilers Part Ways   (Site not responding. Last check: )
What Ryan Smyth didn't say was that he and his agent Don Meehan were in the midst of stalled contract negotiations with the Oilers—and that he could have stayed in Edmonton if he weren't so greedy.
Smyth, whose current deal is up at the end of the year, would have been an unrestricted free agent this offseason if he and the team didn't reach an agreement.
The bottom line is this: Smyth could be an Oiler today if he'd been willing to give up $300,000 a year—5.5 percent of the total $5.7 million he was asking for.
