An outstanding prescription and description! Loved the references to two excellent examples - Churchill (who could when necessary also write and speak with a flourish) and Feynman. I would specifically add my oft repeated advise as well especially for those just starting out, avoid using adverbs and adjectives as much as possible, sticking to subjects, verbs, conjunctions and objects. It will clarify and compress your writing - and they you can look for places were an adverb or adjective adds information.
