fatuous sentences

The media, radio, TV, magazines, etc. give us abundant examples of fatuous sentences. I'm sure I've done my bit as well. By any standards, this sentence, which accompanies a CD issue of Elgar conducted by Eduard van Beinum on Beulah 2PD15, must rank highly among fatuous and just plain stupid sentences. Writing about the conductor, author Malcolm Walker makes this insightful comment:

'His health, never particularly robust in his last years, must have contributed to his early death.'

Well I never!
