WI>will only improve clay soil! (...could it *get* any worse?   :)
Good logical argument for adding almost anything to clay soil. 
Ahredded (two-inch square) chunks of cardboard carton should 
qualify as additives. I suspect that paper wouldn't help, but 
that thickish cardboard would take long enough to break down that 
it would assimilate the clay particles.
I now have six compost pails going in rotation and It is 
interesting to observe the delays in breakdowns. When I sive-out 
a bin, the unbroken material goes straight into the bottom of the 
empty pail so that the worms get another long stab at devouring 
the stuff. I suspect that come summer I'm going to actually turf 
out the remaining stone-fruit pits and bones and end up with one 
shopping-bag of debris from seven or eight-months kitchen and 
office garbage.
All the scrunched-up 8.5x11 inch paper is disappearing fast!
WI>the weather.  Freezing is one of the *best* of tools for this!  (And, it's
WI>*free*, for many of us!  :)
I am resisting the urge to ask for the derivative of the word 
"freezing" here (g!)
