The Right To Do Something Does Not

Do Not Be Taken In By 'insiderisms.' Fledgling Columnists, Eager To Impress Readers With Their Grasp Of Journalistic Jargon, Are Drawn To Such Arcane Spellings As 'lede.' Where They Lede, Do Not Follow.

Never Look For The Story In The 'lede.' Reporters Are Required To Put What's Happened Up Top, But The Practiced Pundit Places A Nugget Of News, Even A Startling Insight, Halfway Down The Column, Directed At The Politiscenti. When Pressed For Time, The Savvy Reader Starts There.

Some Handsome And Ambitious Men Believe They Are Above All Morality, And A Woman's Virtue Becomes A Mere Challenge To Them.

By Elevating Your Reading, You Will Improve Your Writing Or At Least Tickle Your Thinking.
