A Sentence I Loved
"It is this enforced brevity that discourages obfuscating digressions and promotes precision."

I had to do a double-take on that one Benji:-)great stuff as always-I have never heard of that magazine before-of course that is not saying much as I am sure there are thousands I haven't heard of. The bookstore closest to my place seems intent on getting rid of all my old favorites-Z magazine, Fortean Times, Utne and some others-and they are going into overdrive carrying fashion mags (men and womens) sigh-I guess it is the general direction the world-especially the US is heading-all the best to you!!
Why? One can obfuscate in brief declarative sentences, such as "I am here to help" (see comment on next post).
