Link to the NYT article and "Economical" assignments

I dug out the link to the New York Times article I was reading from last night. There is also a New England Journal of Medicine article about Dr. Pou and a video interview with the author of the NYT article.

Also, the reading assignment in "Economical Writing" is chapters 12 and 13.

I've had a couple of questions on the gaps in the reading in "On Writing Well." I skipped the chapters Zinsser devotes to particular writing genres (travel, business, memoirs, etc.). They are worth reading, especially if you are interested in one of those subjects for your writing. But I figured you had enough to read and that Zinsser's more general writing on writing was more important, which is why I only assigned those chapters.

If you have not sent me questions for Kathy and Bob, please do so today. I'll be compiling the questions and sending them to Kathy and Bob tonight.
