The Clinton Administration and Health Care
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the various health care initiatives put forward throughout the Clinton Administration, both the successes and the failures. The Clinton Administration has been decisively involved in health issues since its earliest days. However, most steps forwarded have been blocked or met with several steps back. Far too often in the past six years, it has been the administration's side that has been pulled into the mud puddle in the health care tug-of-war which has resulted in substantially less health care reform than President Clinton and his supporters had promised while campaigning. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Johnson & the Great Society
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the book 'Lyndon B. Johnson and the American Dream' by Doris Kearns Goodwin and how it illustrates Johnson's ideal of a great society, as was defined in one of his greatest speeches. Johnson was a man who held many regrets, as Goodwin so eloquently illustrated, and to a large degree his dream may well have been a failure. This may have well had something to do with the fact that the American people never saw him as much more than Kennedy's replacement and Johnson could never fill the shoes of the revered president. No additional sources cited.

Communication Perspective: Kennedy's Inaugural Address
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When assessing the rhetorical aspects of John F. Kennedy's inaugural address, it is important to not only focus upon the oration as a single entity, but also to separate it within its own boundaries. Indeed, while all the individual pieces come together to form the speech as a whole, it is with these components that President Kennedy is both eloquent and able to make his point. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Godfrey Hodgson/America in Our Time
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page analysis of historian Godfrey Hodgson's study of American culture, America in Our Time. In this book, Hodgson argues that the period from the inauguration of JFK in 1960 through the second inauguration of Richard Nixon constitutes an era that was so radically different from what preceded it and followed it that it constitutes a specific 'age,' in and of itself. His arguments are most persuasive and the writer demonstrates that Hodgson carries off this premise extremely well. No additional sources cited.

[ send me this paper ]
A five page paper looking at Seymour Hersh's book on the life and times of John F. Kennedy. The paper charges that the unremittingly vicious view of the former President is not warranted because Hersh is judging Kennedy's actions in the 1950s and 1960s by the standards of today. Bibliography lists one source.
