From the author: Richard M. Nixon used rhetoric as a means of solving specific political problems, Yet, despite his reputation as a pragmatist and a "nuts-and-bolts" politician, he was always asking his speechwriters for an elusive, never-defined but, to him, all-important quality he called "heart." The least experienced member of his speech-writing team, William F. Gavin, was able to provide that quality, especially in Nixon's acceptance speech in Miami Beach in 1968. Gavin describes what it was like to write for a man who hid his heart from public view but always wanted "heart" to inspire his rhetoric.
