The Rhetoric of Strategic Retreat: Carter and the Panama Canal Debate.
Sudol, Ronald A.
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v65 n4 p379-91 Dec 1979
Discusses President Carter's televised address on the Panama Canal Treaties in terms of five "topoi" for a rhetoric of retreat: timeliness, urgency, value, advantage, and shrewdness. Compares his failure to employ the commonsense arguments that a policy of retreat requires in the televised speech with his more successful impromptu speeches. (JMF)
