America I Envision: Political Convention

The America I Envision is an anthology that highlights some of the most notable speeches from America's long history of political conventions. From Benjamin Franklin's 1787 agreement to the Constitution "with all its faults," to Barry Goldwater's 1964 insistence that "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice," to the speeches kicking off the current 2000 presidential campaigns, this collection reflects over 200 years of changes in the American political landscape and in the art of political oratory.
