"A Formula for Writing the Business Profile Article"

Gerald Grow's highly prescriptive article on the format of a business profile article will be incredibly helpful later this week, when I tackle the raw material of my personal interview.  Having perused the different requirements according to Grow's article, I now how a strong sense of what content to look for in my interview.  Grow's emphasis on paying attention during the interview for a potential closing quote was particularly helpful.  Additionally, I found Grow's breakdown of the article structure very helpful in terms of pacing and the expectations of business readers.  The 'Personal History Loop' and 'Subject in a Home Environment' caused me a little trouble in terms of their appropriateness within the article--I reconciled the personal history with the relative proportion to the 'Subject in a Business Environment' section, but the home-life section seems a bit overly ambitious for the type of article we are preparing for class.
