'Now indispensable for students of the Office and for serious observers of a President - and readable, besides!"
Richard Neustadt
"PSQ is a must read for any serious scholar of presidential rhetoric."
Kathleen Hall Jamieson
'Presidential Studies Quarterly accomplishes two important goals. It publishes the best work on the presidency and it actively promotes research and writing. (PSQ) identifies the gaps and provides data and commentary on contemporary developments. The journal makes an enormous contribution to presidential scholarship.'
Charles O. Jones
