Ernest Hemingway briefly worked as a reporter for The Star from 1917 to 1918.  Hemingway credited a Star editor, C.G. 'Pete' Wellington, with changing his verbose high school writing style into clear, provocative English. The author referred to this admonition from The Star's style sheet: "Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs. Use vigorous English. Be positive, not negative."
