  2. This is a rambling. The same information is repeated over and over. If information wasn’t repeated so often it could be written in 2 pages instead of 11.

  3. I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Schenemann’s comment. Any freshman comp instructor could have pared this article down to 2 or 3 pages. Too bad, because the topic is intriguing and deserving of serious study.

  4. Having just read the book that this article was derived from I can honestly agree with the previous comments. The book was page after page of repeated ideas and so is this article. Foster has attempted to make this “campaign” interesting enough to justify a book and failed.
