Mr. Newman, television commentator, anchorman, host, critic and writer, asked: Will America be the death of English? Probably! Strictly Speaking, a favorite of mine, is entertain- ing, yet thought-provoking. The book reminds us that we have lost some eloquence of expression. We often fail to speak or write with directness and simplicity.
