[QUOTE="witzend, post: 137316, member: 99"] I went to Time.com and read the article. I believe the description refers to X, and that it is a poorly written paragraph. I find this to be so in many newspaper/newsmagazine articles that I read. I think that if you want to refer to "he" or "she" in a paragraph, that somewhere in the paragraph you need to refer to who "he" or "she" is. It's too confusing when you are reading an article and "he" or "last name only" is referring to someone that was mentioned as "District Attorney first and 'Last Name Only'" 15 paragraphs earlier. I shouldn't have to work that hard to figure out who the subject is that is being quoted or referred to. [/QUOTE]
