Remember "the vision thing"? That was the criticism of his father, whose presidency seemed to have no overarching sense of direction. The elder Bush was "the in-box President," dealing with problems as they reached his desk without communicating a clear sense of the big…

In Rhetoric, Aristotle shows how words can be used to build and convey a strong argument using tactics such as ethos,…
