One of the most important things, to my mind, in English style is word-order. For us, the most emphatic place in a clause or sentence is the end. This is the climax; and, during the momentary pause that follows, that last word continues, as it were, to reverberate in the reader’s mind. It has, in fact, the last word. One should therefore think twice about what one puts at a sentence-end. But in a German sentence this final position may be reserved, by a most curious grammatical convention, for an infinitive or past participle; or, in a subordinate clause, for the main verb. Thus logical emphasis, unless particularly strong, tends to be sacrificed to mere grammar.
—F. L. Lucas (1894–1967)

Just as a large segment of liberal political opinion never could accept Nixon as a “legitimate” president, neither can a large segment of conservative political opinion today accept Clinton’s legitimacy in the Oval Office.... Nixon’s slash-and-burn politics, Red-baiting and smarmy sanctimony earned him the undying enmity of otherwise tolerant liberals long before he turned the crime of Watergate into a fatal political blunder. For Clinton, draft ducking, toking on a marijuana cigarette and a family life that he acknowledges has not been perfect create the same effect: He is unable to establish moral authority with opponents who might otherwise be open to his centrist style and policies.
