Rogue Cops and Health Care: What Do We Want from Public Writing?
Wells, Susan
College Composition and Communication, v47 n3 p325-41 Oct 1996
Argues that writing teachers and scholars need to build a public sphere in which their students can imagine themselves taking a role as a writer. Suggests that the sphere is always constructed and that it cannot, in present society, be unitary. Illustrates such a sphere by examining President Bill Clinton's construction of a public sphere in his 1993 Health Care Speech. (TB)
