I have a question about how to write history. I hope it's not inappropriate or too elementary to ask here. The vast majority of my writing is hard news and feature articles for technology trade magazines using AP style. So it's very difficult for me to break the habit of writing "he said" (or similar) after most sentences. But as I write the manuscript for my first computer history book, I'm encountering situations where that is clearly not the best approach, because it interrupts the flow of the story. How do those of you who write computer history books handle the attribution when telling a never-before-told story? Put another way, what are good ways to footnote a whole paragraph or section without littering the page? The manuscript is full of what I can't help calling "scoops" because the journalistic approach is all I know how to do, so I feel it's necessary to cite the source of everything before readers question why they haven't heard these stories before. Quite frankly, it's important to me that what I publish is considered credible by SIGCIS members! :) Thanks in advance -- - Evan
