Oh, and based on that definition of "clinical," and sorry but I find that usage odd, that's not the type of writing I prefer. The journalists I respect most bring their full selves into their writing, their full experience. They are not "detached" from the experiences about which they write, like robots. That does not mean they are telling falsehoods, it means they write with richness and depth.
