I took out a bunch of peacock text that was apparently taken from public relations ad copy such as is shown here. I condensed to the essentials, hopefully catching all the main points. This article was getting to be jagged in that it didn't flow cohesively. It still could use some work on the flow, as well as some formatting to match other composer's pages.
