The very nature of directness suggests an intimacy and reassurance that is critical to persuading each side that the other is serious .

The explanation is democracy , or , rather , mechanisms such as congress , talk radio and the primary system , which transmit american popular opinion to policymakers with unusual directness .

And again , I like the necessity of constraint , that different forms call for different kinds of responses , that instant writing is going to be less formally elegant in a certain kind of way but it 's also going to have a certain kind of powerful directness .
