To quote from your post in another thread -- "Another bike in collision with
a car..."

"Jounalists always write such stories from a personal interest perspective.
The completely neutral "The was a collision between cyclist and car in which
the cyclist was killed" is impersonal and comp[letely neutral but is bad and
boring journalism."

Maybe -- but the journo who wrote about the poor 80 year old was not so
squeamish.

A little consistence would be nice.
