The secret to good editing is knowing what to cut and knowing what to keep. For<br />
JOHN P. LINDSAY and his wife, LESLIE WARD, elegantly honing raw materials down<br />
to their essence has become second nature. The couple had spent their long careers<br />
as editors at the Los Angeles Times, training their senses to capture rhetorical gems<br />
while reflexively discarding the “fluff,” those extra words that do not add to the story.<br />
