This article (http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/is-ubs-headed-downtown/?ref=sept112001) is written more like Thucydides because of the author's opinion on the matter. It was more opinionated. It was seen through the author's eyes. That is exactly how Thucydides wrote history. The article is about a specific topic and is not general. Thucydides also wrote this way.
Herodotus was much more general, but he did not put down his own opinion. This article (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/18/nyregion/conde-nast-publications.html?_r=1&ref=sept112001) is only general information and facts. Herodotus gave more general information when describing situation. He always stuck with the facts. He never gave his opinion and either does this article.
