The Public Rhetoric of Mikhail Gorbachev and the Promise of Peace.

Kelley, Colleen E.

Western Journal of Speech Communication, v52 n4 p321-34 Fall 1988

Examines some of the rhetorical choices of General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev which dramatize Soviet calls for nuclear weapons de-escalation. Speculates that Gorbachev's peace efforts are sincere, because they are motivated by twin crises of a failing economy and a threatened world community. (MS)
