Zinsser, thankfully, doesn't argue for the abolition of the passive voice in toto. He just points out that it's one of the stylistic tics that can make otherwise good writing stodgy and difficult to read. I feel that's completely fair comment, given how often I read something in the passive voice and think it's completely unnecessary.
