One leg is an inch shorter than the other three. But I don’t think that’ll be [...]

Saddleback Civic Forum for Civil Communication: A Novel Idea

Posted by Dianna Booher - August 18, 2008 - Communication—Oral, General Communication
0

It was an historic night all around.  Obama and McCain joined each other on the same platform for the first time during the presidential race.  But more important than that, they did not face each other in a challenging, tit-for-tat confrontational style.  Neither did those who analyzed the debates afterward dispute and disparage each other [...]
