1. Attempts were made on the part of the President’s aides to assert his immunity from a Congressional subpoena.

2. The author’s analysis of our data omits any citation of sources that would provide support for his criticism of our argument.

Diagnosis

Ignoring short introductory phrases ("In the meantime," "Although," etc.), underline the first seven or eight words in each sentence.

Look for three characteristics:

1. Sentences that begin not with characters, but abstract nouns.
2. Sentences that take more than six or seven words to get to a verb.
3. Verbs that are less specific than the actions buried in the nouns around them.

Warning: Some keg-only formula are linked into the Cellar.
Linking a keg-only formula, such as gettext, into the cellar with
