Not sed, but this awk alternative also works with your given input.
Code:
awk '{$1=$1}1' RS= file

Note: it only works if there are two consecutive newlines (a completely empty line) between two vertical sentences, as is the case in your sample.

Hi,
Another way in bash builtin works with your given input (for fun):
Code:
while read -d \. foo ; do echo $foo.; done <file ; [ "$foo" ] && echo $foo

Regards.

An alternative in Perl.
Code:
perl -00 -nae 'print "@F\n"' my_Perl.file
