A good article.

An editor could have doubled its effectiveness with little effort.

Make the sentences shorter.

Many of them could have easily been broken into two or three sentences.

In all honesty I was pleased that the sentences were written for adults, rather than the pabulum of most writing today containing a half-thought per sentence.

To perdition with writing for the lowest common denominator.
