<< This brings me to Bill Clinton's last State of the Union address:  The said
 speech contained seventeen pages of wonderful economic and political
 strategies, nonetheless, reading through these pages, not once was I tempted
 to reach out for a dictionary to look up the meaning of a single word .  All
 the ideas and plan of action were put in simple and straight forward
 language.  And we are talking here of a Yale/Oxford top of the class student,
 an Englishman and a seasoned Politician of remarkable achievements above all.
  Similarly, there are many other learned people like him who speak in very
 clear and simple English yet very stimulating and/or fun to read their
 writings. >>

Clinton and people like him  understand the importance of getting their
message  to the "learned" as well as the  "common folk" alike.
