If you like that kind of thing, also check out "Revising Business Prose" by Lanham. Avoid passive-voice sentences with long prepositional phrases, and instead use action verbs. For example: “The history of the new regulatory provisions is that there is generally an immediate resistance to them.” becomes “People usually resist new regulations.”
