The White House Speaks

Presidential Leadership as Persuasion

By: Craig A. Smith,Kathy B. Smith

This work treats presidential leadership as persuasive communication. The major theories of presidential leadership found in the literature establish the central role of persuasion, and introduce the interpretive systems approach to political communication as a theoretical framework for the study of presidential leadership as persuasion. Case studies examine recent presidents' use of public persuasion to perform their leadership functions. Particular attention is devoted to coalitional constraints on presidential pardoning rhetoric, presidential leadership through the politics of division, the political significance of conflicting political narratives, the sermonic nature of much 20th-century presidential discourse, the difficulties inherent in persuading the public to make sacrifices, and the dangers of relying too heavily on public rhetoric. The concluding chapter considers the rhetoric that contributed to the demise of the Bush presidency, the election of Bill Clinton, and the challenges facing the Clinton presidency.

Death in Chintz

By: Kathy Buchen

Rhi Nolan, a newly widowed mother of three teenagers, has just moved to La Follette County, but already she has her hands full. Her new law practice isn't going as well as she thought it would and the town is full of quirky characters who seem overly interested in her past. There is a nosy policeman following her around town giving her tickets, her teenagers are rebelling, and the local Lothario has just dropped dead in her best friend's living room. There seems to be a plethora of blond suspects, none of them friendly. And when Rhi investigates, she becomes embroiled in a game of cat and mouse with a madman. No wonder she wants to escape New Belgium, "Where folks are happy and life is heavenly."This is the first in a series of cozy mysteries set in the mythical little town of New Belgium, La Follette County, Wisconsin.
