T here a re excellent reasons why news story style is best, am ong them : (1) The rea d er can quickly read the lead, and quit there it the story fails to in te rest him or her. (2) It p e rm its cutting or reducing the length of a story, to get it into a p a rtic u la r place in the paper, by elim in atin g from the bottom .
