Now, the body she is attempting to represent is, though not great, diverse. Therefore at the very outset she is in a dilemma--to say or not to say. If she chooses the better course, she merely compounds various facts and theories into a sort of non-opinionative hybrid, which might be dubbed editorial-written-under-necessity-of-writing-an editorial.
