Mrs. Mintz's 10th grade English class at Ithaca High School. Sine qua non, and I'm not kidding. She taught us not only the connection between clear thinking and clear writing, but also how to get it down on paper -- fast! It's been 26 years, but every new document still quakes in fear of Mrs. Mintz's sharp, red pen.
