Synopsis
Admiring colleagues have called Edwin Newman an antipollutant, sensibly sardonic, a rare bird, a genial intellect, a man nobody is going to fool anywhere, anytime, anyway. In his book, Strictly Speaking, these qualities are joined. Newman's wry eye focuses on the sorry state of the English language as a reflection of the sad state of American society. He skewers stereotypes, cliches, errors, and jargon used by weather forecasters, presidents, vice-presidents, sportscasters, diplomats, senators, pollsters, newsmen, advertisers, social scientists, college presidents, foreign correspondents, youth. Few escape. Drawing upon his wealth of experience in newspapers, radio, and television, Newman deflates the pompous, the grandiose, the stilted, the hollow. He rejoices in language that is lucid, graceful, direct, civilized. The reader rejoices in him.

    Very pleased. Seller shipped my item right away, and packaged with extreme care. Seller shipped my item expedited, and it arrived in three days time. Upon inspection of the seller's item, I found it to be exactly as pictured and described in the seller's detailed description. I'm most pleased with my transaction, and the seller's conduct, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the seller's store, to other discerning Ebay buyers.
