P.S. The eloquence is not a substitute for the contents of a writing. I was outraged not by her language, but rather by the way she saw and assessed the world we live in (allegedly the same). One should distinguish between a purely aesthetical essay aimed at self-expression and a paper in NYT which (I already wrote about that) is a policy-in-the-making.

P.P.S. I am not a writer. I am a narrator, an eskimo-type one.

Oh, I can tell aesthetics from the contents. But I am sure some of the NYT authors do not keep them where they belong.

Эскимо на палочке!
