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