discussing the presidential election of 1984. The term
rhetoric has come to carry a negative connotation that is
the object only of scorn, while in the past it was a
much-admired ability and art. To the chagrin of the
Democratic Party, there could have been no better candidate
than Ronald Reagan for the 1984 election. He has indeed
earned his label of the great communicator, and his
personal character was found to be above reproach in a time
that such things mattered more than perhaps they do today.
Reagan was uniquely suited to the presidency at that time and
in that climate. Bibliography lists 9 sources. 1984el.doc

Space Shuttle Design / Then And Now : 20 pages in
length.
If the space shuttle were to have existed at any other time
than the present, would it have possessed the same physical
characteristics that it does today? Surely, if the architectural
components were compared with that of the Renaissance
period, Classicism, Neoclassicism and the early part of the
Twentieth Century, there would exist considerable difference
with regard to the rocket's outward appearance. There is no
question that the basis of architecture has changed immensely
throughout the centuries, which helps to establish a theory
about the inherent physical appearance the space shuttle
would have reflected in those eras. The writer discusses
space shuttle design as it relates to these periods.

The Effect of Reagan Tax Cuts on Consumer Spending :
A 7 page essay on the effects of consumer behavior in
response to Ronald Reagans economic policies. Immediately
after taking office in 1981, he began instituting a series of

For the eight years immediately preceding the Reagan era,
there was no growth in real household income. For the eight
years following the time of his administration, there has been
a decline in that income of over $1,400 a year. During the
Reagan years, however, real income rose a full 10% over the
period, giving the American worker more discretionary
income than they had known since the 1960s. Five
