Here's a quote from a story in The New York Times this week on travel industry professionals finding better ways to serve young adults by changing the way they talk to them: "It's much more around buy-in and wanting to be part of the team and understanding the big picture. So said Evan Konswiser, who gave his job as travel technology entrepreneur and is to be commended for pulling off the tricky stunt of employing jargon three times in a simple declarative sentence.
When Richard Nixon decided to make his historic visit to China in 1972, the aged Pearl Buck sought to go along, but Zhou Enlai himself, writes Hilary Spurling, refused her a visa. She was still controversial. Beginning in the 1980s, however, the Chinese began to embrace Pearl Buck and to encourage Pearl Buck tourism by renovating houses she had lived in as a child and producing Chinese TV specials about her and her writings. A documentary praised her as "an American writer who told the Chinese stories in a Chinese way in English. In fact, her 1931 masterpiece, "The Good Earth," in which the story of a Chinese peasant family is told in one simple declarative sentence after another, sounds as though it has been translated from the Chinese.
NEW YORK - The opening sentence was as simple, declarative and revolutionary as a line out of Hemingway: Okonkwo was well known throughout the nine villages and even beyond," Chinua Achebe wrote in "Things Fall Apart.
It's a safe bet that before March 1, U.S. Department of Agriculture officials never heard of the Cattle Producers of Louisiana. It's also a safe bet that by March 2, USDA bigwigs not only knew about the bayou cowboys, they also knew at least one of 'em could write a mean letter. That letter, dated March 1 and sent to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, begins with a simple declarative sentence: "The Beef Checkoff is broken.
BRET EASTON ELLIS began his novel, "Less Than Zero," with a simple declarative sentence that prompted several hundred words of direct obsession and a few hundred pages of indirect dissolution: "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles. It would be a happy accident if some people in Hampton Roads failed to merge because they were afraid to merge, but the answer is more mundane than that. Some folks are just too rude to merge.

Not surprisingly, negation also plays a central role in scientific reasoning in the form of counterfactuals. [...] even if we reject the notion that an absence signaled by a negation could be a cause, we have to contend with the fact that standard analyses of causation are forced to have recourse to negation inasmuch as they suppose that a process or fact can only be a cause if it is not the same as its effect.6 So construed, causation requires a real distinction that is the counterpart of a negation.
... asymmetricalist position: "The positive sentence must presuppose the existence of the negative sent... a verbalization in the form of a declarative sentence in the indicative mood. Assertions are ab...
A LAST BLAST OF AUTUMNAL ART: Here's the last full week of Artstober, or in the declarative sentence turned compound noun that its organizers have dubbed it, October Is Arts Month. We have done our share, which is merely to exist in a constant state of art appreciation all month. A bit of art-related terror remains in the offing, but more about that as we get closer to the bottom of the page.
Both are millionaires who strive to pass themselves off as "regular folks"- there's not much difference between [Michael Moore]'s carefully cultivated blue-jeans-and-ball-cap getup and our president's Crawford brushclearing regalia. Both Moore and [George W. Bush] address the American people in the condescending tone one might take with a developmentally delayed child, and there's never a crisis in our complex modern age that can't be resolved with a simple declarative sentence. Neither gentleman has much interest in gray areas. Speaking as someone who sees the world as an endlessly complicated and terrifying place, I personally find such reductive black-and-white worldviews profoundly unhelpful, no matter which side of the aisle they come from. I know I'm violating the unspoken agreeme...
