Bøker av Davis W. Houck

Employing never-before-used historical materials, the authors of Emmett Till and the Mississippi Press reveal how Mississippi journalists both expressed and shaped public opinion in the aftermath of the 1955 Emmett Till murder.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - the famous words from Franklin Roosevelt's first inaugural address. This study focuses primarily on the speech and its drafting (principally by Raymond Moley). Houck also tells of its delivery and the responses of those who were inspired by it.

This new anthology rounds out Ronald Reagan's rhetorical persona and fills a major gap in the literature about the man by offering an unbiased and a multi-dimensional picture of his public speeches during all phases of his political life.
