The comedy 1.5 line gap between paragraphs was what defeated me. I was distracted by the sound of Tschichold turning in his grave. 1. "too much leading causes the eye to skip down a line" usually considered to be the opposite. Small leading causes skips. Which is why many copy editors prefer to work with texts at 200% line-height. 3. Goudy was talking about blackletter. But that is sheep-shaggingly bad for the same reason as lowercase, so it fits, I think. Tschichold (again) said that, conversely, nothing should be set in all caps or small caps without at least a little letterspacing.
