Sowell is a great writer, but does anyone else wonder why his paragraphs are so short? I get the impression he is trying to spoon-feed the ignorant, at least in his op-ed pieces. Unfortunately, as always, the ignorant who need most to read his articles won’t ever see them, and he is preaching to the choir here at FR.
This seems to be almost universal in opinion columns. I think it's a factor of the distribution over the internet, rather than every writer's using one-sentence paragraphs.
