Perspectives (1969-1979)

Passing Sentence On Sentences, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In his book, The Art of Plain Talk, Mr. Rudolf Flesch makes many assertions which seem convincingly plausible on the face of them, but which prove to be oversimplifications or plain distortions of fact if one troubles to look beneath the surface.
