Rick Armon, staff writer for the Rochester, NY Democrat and Chronicle, for this lead paragraph in which he explains to readers what happens in a political debate:
In their first televised debate in the race for Monroe County executive, Maggie Brooks and William A. Johnson Jr. agreed Thursday that there needs to be a change in county leadership, but differed sharply on who the better candidate is.
See how he keeps you in suspense? You want to read more to find out- who do they think the better candidate is? Maybe Johnson thinks Brooks is the better candidate, but Brooks disagrees!
Armon has written many of the Democrat and Chronicle's most insightful articles, including "Faucet settles 'water is wet' controversy" and "Latest finding: Blues singers not only ones who woke up this mornin'- you probably did too ".
