Mark Danner seems, to me, to be an accomplished writer. His style and voice within this article flows well throughout the entire piece. I enjoyed and appreciated his imagery and descriptive writing as well. It enhanced the story for me because I was able to imagine what it would hvae been like to attend the event. As Doc said, this article could be hard to place in the categories for types of stories. But, just in reading it, it seemed to have a features story feel to it. It has great color. His writing style was one that you might find in certain novel or creative writing. It is the type of writing I am drawn to that keeps my attention. And, to be able to use this type of writing - with description and color - in political pieces is very cool. In the way he writes this story, I think that most people who start reading the article would finish it completely. One concern I have is that some of the wordiness and length of the sentences may not be appreciated by all readers.
