Alliterations galore


I enjoy reading Parsiana and look forward to its arrival. The standard of journalism is exquisite and the views balanced. My one suggestion is to use less alliteration in the titles. Examples from the last two issues: "Dilemma of the diaspora,” "Memories of muktads,” "Marxist’s mini-memoir,” "Enthused by the exhibition,” "Imaginative imaging,” "Tortuous tale,” "Disruption by dispersal,” "Beauty in business,” "Disturbing demographics,” "Politics and patriotism,” "The bat and the baton,” "Religion and reflection.”
Inspired by my favorite magazine, I have come up with this 17-barreled alliteration. Can anyone beat this: When will we wander west with www worldwide wayfarer; why, why, why? Wonderful wow!
