Why Do Words Count So Much? -- a slant on the subject of
intolerance.
Why Do Utahans Eat Green Jell-O?

state in which this author was born and raised is a unique culture in

writing technique.

Experience Counts!
Even
seemingly unrelated expertise never gets lost. Carolyn's class in
geology as a Freshman at the University of Utah worked into freelance
articles for the Salt Lake Tribune. With that same information she
helped her fiancé buy her engagement ring. Later, in retailing, that
knowledge made a jewelry department in her Palm Springs store sparkle! Ditto for her background as a
publicist. She acquired so many more inches of free publicity that she ever
needed to pay for display advertising.
