...dignity, quality and dependability. It is designed for men and women of early middle age with an income of over $25,000 a year and a net worth of at least $75,000." The astonished reporter, according to Kefauver, gasped: "Where did you ever get that?" "Simple," replied the explicit Democrat. "I took it right out of an ad for Lincoln Continental...
Television, which likes its plots explicit, has had little success adapting the misty works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, with their subtle concerns for class cravings, lost illusions and elusive ideals. But then, neither have the stage and cinema. In adapting Fitzgerald's frail short story Winter Dreams for last week's Playhouse go over CBS, Emmy Winner James P.

Author Connell, 32, is a Missourian who has been a premedical student at Dartmouth, a Navy flyer, and a wanderer in the U.S. and the world.

Orwell believed clear thinking is both possible and important, and that clear writing fosters it. His design was to foster both. In several essays he made his plea for clear writing quite explicit, even listing the habits that make good style. But I think Orwell's message was best where less explicit; as a preacher he seemed to nag. I find his example more gracious than his sermons. If you believe it is important to write clearly, it makes much more sense to start by writing clearly than to talk about clear writing. That was what...
