Something like this is probably better:
```scheme
(use-modules (guix ui)
(srfi srfi-1))
(define (strings lst)
(fold (lambda (i result)
(cond
((string? i) (cons i result))
((list? i) (append (strings i) result))
(else result)))
(list)
lst))
(map texi->plain-text
(strings (call-with-input-file "etc/news.scm" read))
```
