I just finished through the last of the articles I'm reading before starting "The Tipping Point." They keep their extended examples but these last few also had something different. They were mostly about human behaviors and Gladwell used more emotional appeal than he usually does. Now there is still not a lot of it, but where he actually did use it I found was really strong. He placed them around the end of sections or articles and never over did it.
Here is also a bit more on Gladwell from the back of his book:
"Malcolm Gladwell is also the author of the #1 bestselling Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. He was a reporter for the Washington Post from 1987 to 1996, working first as a science writer and then as New York City bureau chief. Since 1996, he has been a staff writer for The New Yorker."
And we've been actually using The New Yorker in class as well.
