atw: From Another List

Just posted:

An outside editor sent in an article from one of his authors
that was running long to ask if I thought it would be okay.
It's 30 pages; our guidelines state 12 to 15 pages. We'll go
longer, but double is just too long. Accordingly, I asked
the editor to have the author tighten it up, at least to
under 20 pages, by condensing a few (rather rambling)
sections and moving two lists from the text into sidebars.

The editor just sent back the revised paper. The author did
a bit of condensing, but his primary method for shortening
the text of his paper was to reduce the font size from
12 point to 10 point.
