Hemingway's Kansas City Star stylesheet

Ernest Hemingway encountered these rules on word usage, sentence length, dates, and abbreviations during his brief stint as a reporter for the paper in 1917-18. I'd write more about them, but I'm afraid of violating a style rule in the process. (Via Dawn Eden, whose link to a different copy of the style sheet is broken, even after it was fixed once.)
