An example of one of these concepts can be seen in Sartorius, who wears the standard Obelisk Blue uniform with a raised and buckled collar and matching cut-offs for his arms and legs.

I first came across the inverted pyramid system for writing news when I took my Masters degree in journalism - years after I started working in newspapers.My initial reaction was, here is a meaningless title given by educators to a writing system that makes it look as if you can use a scientific approach when you learn to write news.Of course, there is structured method to writing but what it has to do with an inverted pyramid was, and still is years later, beyond me.The inverted pyramid system tells us that, when writing journalistic articles, the most important information goes in the first paragraph. Duh!You keep adding paragraphs in descending order of importance, and this is supposed to explain why an upended pyramid is used as its model.Well, I still don't get it. Surely, the better model would be a pyramid, without the "inverted" part. It would make sense for the pointy part of the pyramid, signifying a sharp opening paragraph, to be on top.And as you expand on your ...
