Richard Thompson Ford shows, in his tight and controlled prose, that the best way to approach a subject — especially one dealing with an inflammatory social or political point, is to confront it directly, examine it with the impassive scalpel of a medical examiner's intellect, and just matter of factly report on the discoveries, allowing any further analyses to be done by others.

Now, for your own benefit, get to it!
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
