Reply #3: I thought you must have posted his paragraphs out of order

The logic and mechanics were shoddy. I clicked to read the entire column. You posted it exactly. He is very confused. I had started to paste and copy sentences to illustrate these points, but it was useless.

Will has become an awful writer. I think he needs to go back to basics. Get out the index cards and work on a thesis statement to help guide him.

I have read that he is not thought highly of in the neo-con world. They consider him a phony Brahman who is in the past. Perhaps that is part of his problem.
