...exploring the compulsion for obscurity and obfuscation. The rule is: "If a layman can read a document from beginning to end without falling asleep, it needs work." Simple, direct statements should be avoided at all costs. For example, "The sky is blue" is impossibly straightforward; any associate worth his salt will quickly convert it to "The sky generally appears to be blue." His more experienced superior will render the statement "In some parts of the world, what is generally thought of as the sky sometimes appears to be blue." At which point, a senior partner will have a base...

Normally the purest river in the European part of the Soviet Union, the Dniester became "brinier than the saltiest sea water," in Vasilyev's words. Containing as much as 10 oz. of salt for every quart, the burning brew killed some 2,000 tons of fish, destroyed an unknown quantity of aquatic plant life on which fish thrive, and forced officials to cut off water temporarily to numerous communities that depend on the Dniester, including the major cities of Odessa and Kishinev. To make up for the lost water, officials scurried to drill wells and divert streams and lakes...
...spill has created an enormous cleanup problem. Millions of tons of salt settled to the bottom of a large reservoir behind the Novodnestrovsk Dam, 300 miles downriver from the accident. Vasilyev said, however, that the salt was gradually being flushed out by mixing it with fresh water, so that the river might be restored to its old purity in a few months. Still, even if the effort is completely successful, there may be long-term repercussions, political as well as environmental. Vasilyev bluntly accused officials, presumably those in charge of designing and managing the potash plant, of ignoring two warnings...
