Special Lead Findings

This example I found to be a combination of a narrative and contrast lead. Narrative because there is a painting of the picture of these two men, but a contrast between where they are now compared to what appears to be an argument that surfaced back in the 1960s.

This example I found is a staccato lead. While the punches aren't extremely strong and abrupt, the fragments cause the reader to pause and paint a picture with each seperate description.
