What stood out to me in the quotes in this article from scientists is their light nature. While some were like one/few word quotes: "They're big" and "Wow;" the ones that I like most are: “This shows again that the universe is full of surprises,” and “I have failed to find dark matter, but I got a very pleasant consolation prize!” The quote about surprises shows that some unexpected/unfathomable phenomenon has occurred in the universe. The quote about consolation prize in the humorous vein struck me because of the analogy and the fact that it is coming from a space scientist!
I feel this article could have been split into Obama's Indonesia visit considering he spent his childhood there and international relations. I like the closing quote wherein Obama hints on "disadvantage" of being a celebrity! “Now,” Mr. Obama said, “as president I can’t even see all the traffic because they block all the streets.”
This is an example of lack of quotes in a sensitive story. I was surprised there was only one quote in this 650-word article. When we are told that quotes add life to a story, the only quote in this one is from army investigator justifying why Army had not interviewed Afghan villagers after killings: “strategic consequences that puts people at risk.” The quote is a typical diplomatic one which doesn't say much either.
