About the book

The former presidential speechwriter describes how to be a successful public speaker, explaining the importance of the first paragraph, the effective use of logic and professional jargon, and the function of humor in speeches.

First sentence: I'm tempted to begin this the way Reader's Digest used to: So you want to give a speech ... There you are in the den, the kitchen or the dinning room, and you're thinking, How do I get out of it?
