  • THE DEATH OF DISCOURSE
    RONALD K L COLLINS / DAVID M SKOVER
    In this innovative book, the authors persuasively argue that the First Amendment to the Constitution has risen in the late twentieth century, like an ill guided individual with knife in hand, to murder a longstanding tradition of fine and meaningful discourse in the United States.
