Page vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never participated in the nuclear freeze campaign, so I have a different perspective than Pam Solo, Douglas Waller, David Meyers, and others who have written on the subject. I do owe a debt to those writers, however, as well as to a number of other former freeze activists who provided insights and artifacts. This book may be critical of the strategies and tactics of the freeze campaign, but it does not question the good intentions of those who participated. The Freeze campaign merely symptomized a larger illness in the American body politic, an illness that infects people of all ideological stripes and has only grown worse since the early 1980s. That illness, a sort of political malnourishment that Kathleen Hall Jamieson, James Davison Hunter, and others also have written about in recent books, has resulted from gradual, almost imperceptible changes in how Americans discuss and debate public issues. Increasingly over the past several decades, the American public has been asked to perform the hard labors of democratic governance on a steady diet of political junk food. In Eloquence in an Electronic Age, Jamieson presents Ronald Reagan as the consummation of these trends. The "Great Communicator's" success, Jamieson argues, rested upon a mode of speaking that traditionally would have been condemned as "effeminate": a conversational style built upon dramatizing, storytelling, and self-revelation. According to Jamieson, Reagan's rhetoric, while exploiting television's power to convey images and emotions, also ''defied traditional logic and our usual tests of evidence." As such, it not only immunized Reagan from political attack, but also in Jamieson's view, subverted public discussion of his polices and ideas.
