The Pardoning of Richard Nixon: A Failure in Motivational Strategy.
Klumpp, James F.; Lukehart, Jeffrey K.
Western Speech Communication, v42 n2 p116-23 Spr 1978
Discusses the failure of Gerald Ford's speech pardoning Richard Nixon and the relationship between moral and legal themes. The speech failed because Ford did not effectively combine these themes into a single compatible perspective from which his pardon became the appropriate response to the situation. (JMF)
