It's
amazing how the oral nature of the newspapers - all newspapers are
very close to the spoken word, are practically transcriptions, often
using the conventions-of-shrill - is revealed in these concentrated
texts, and how the reports start scrutinising their own assumptions
when you put them under only a little linguistic pressure.
