Additional writings by Leonard Evans published only on this site

An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff

Various writings that for a variety of reasons were not published in traditional outlets are published here.  In some cases they are more complete versions of published items.  The piece on Diamond Lanes published in the San Francisco Examiner was 374 words;  the 940 word (plus a photograph) piece here conveys much better the meat of the arguments.  

Some items are (and will be) published here to make the information available in a timely fashion -- a two year delay between submission and publication is quite common.  Feel free to cite any article by its title, author, and URL (which will not be changed).  All material below is ©Leonard Evans.
