If it gets too long, look for a good break point. But don't run unrelated sentences together into a single paragraph. If (hypothetical) I'm working on an article about a musician, and all that's available are her date and location of birth, what albums she's released, and her unsuccessful campaign for Secretary General, that last doesn't go in the same paragraph even if it's only one sentence. The albums could all go in one paragraph, or each get its own, depending on how much information is available. -- Vicki Rosenzweig vr(a)redbird.org http://www.redbird.org
