...lone woman on the Times op-ed page, Anna Quindlen for years effectively managed to convey a voice that combined elements of the personal with the more public realm. She has been both praised and criticized for her style, one that raises questions about women's writing and its place in traditional male arenas.

...teenagers Slaby writes about share an inability to convey to others the depth and quality of their suffering. Their best efforts to describe what they are enduring may be found in journals or, most tragically, suicide notes. "I can't tolerate myself anymore," writes Sarah, once a vibrant college student.

Somehow it all flows together quite smoothly. On the other hand, polished prose copied onto bulletin boards from books and magazines often seems long- winded and phony. Unless they adjust to the new medium, professional writers can come across as self-important blowhards in debates with more nimble networkers. Says Brock Meeks, a Washington-based reporter...
