Acknowledgments

Extract

The research for this book was generously funded by the Potter Foundation, the University of Oxford's Andrew Mellow Fund, the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation, the American Political Science Association's Presidency Research Fellowship, and the Faculty Development Fellowship at the University of Tulsa. I would like to thank the late Phillip J. Stone of Harvard University for allowing me to use the General Inquirer to analyze the data presented in chapter 4. I am grateful to the 42 former presidential speechwriters I interviewed for their time, candor, and intellectual engagement. I would like to thank the archivists and staffs at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Jimmy Carter Library, George Bush Presidential Library, Green Library and Hoover Institution Library at Stanford University, Perry-Castañeda Library at the University of Texas at Austin, Nuffield College Library, Social Studies Library, and Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford, and Sterling Memorial Library at Yale. I would also like to gratefully acknowledge my former colleagues at the University of Tulsa, who provided a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment for my research, and Dean Tom Benediktson, who graciously granted me a semester off to write. Many thanks are also due to David McBride, Brendan O'Neill, and Christine Dahlin at Oxford University Press for holding my hand through the publishing process. I owe an intellectual debt to Nigel Bowles, Roderick Hart, David Mayhew, Byron Shafer, and Christopher Wlezien, senior colleagues and mentors who have helped to shape and sharpen my thoughts. I am very grateful to Jeffrey Tulis, whose work inaugurated a whole subfield in presidential studies and inspired this book and who so kindly took time out to read and comment helpfully on the manuscript. I am especially indebted to Stephen Skowronek, who saw promise in this project before I saw it and nurtured it with insights that helped me to clarify what I wanted to say in this book. Many thanks are also due to Edward Biedermann, Jeff Hockett, Michael Mosher, Mana Tahaie, and Nicholas Carnes for taking the time to read and comment on various portions and previous iterations of this book, to Ronnie Farhat for his research assistance, to Sonu Bedi for many productive and clarifying conversations, to Melvyn Lim and Ty Voliter, who helped me to resolve many a software and computing issue and for their friendship, and to Ai-leen, for always being there. All remaining errors are mine. I dedicate this book to my parents, to whom I owe an eternal debt of gratitude and love.
