FROM THE PUBLISHER-THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IS PAVED WITH INNUENDO. The power of buzzwords and soundbites has made Washington-watchers and elected officials wary of the real deal when it comes to the language of speeches, statements, and press releases. Woe to the candidate who uses ‘cathedral of the spirit' in New York City, pity the politico who makes an enemy of the ‘boys on the bus, ' and kudos to the incumbent who knows that ‘debtor nation' must be uttered with anguish or horrified exclamation. Each of the over 1, 000 entries in this unique lexicon is accompanied by definitions, incisive commentary, cautions, and examples of usage in actual speeches made by political VIPs from Abe Lincoln to George Bush. The result is a reference work that gives speechwriters the competitive edge while it attunes citizens and journalists to the carefully crafted doublespeak coming from Tammany Hall. of Capitol Hill. inventory #16868.
