"This is the most valuable kind of book, the kind that benefits mind and heart... My fellow Americans, Safire is a gem." -- Peggy Noonan "A wonderful book." -- David Brinkley "A collection of diverse and stimulating historical and contemporary speeches that will prove a godsend to the student and a windfall to the librarian... Nothing less than comprehensive." -- Library Journal "To teach and to please, some Greek once advised, is the function of great rhetoric, and Safire has put together [a] volume that embod[ies] those functions and their power." -- Booklist
