[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

Editor & Publisher Online's Charles Bowen has uncovered a new Web site that 
features a comprehensive collection of famous speeches -- providing a new 
information resource for journalists. AmericanRhetoric.com was developed by 
Michael E. Eidenmuller, an assistant professor of communications at the 
University of Texas. The site provides links to more than 5,000 speeches 
which are arranged by first name and checked biweekly for accuracy. Special 
reports on important events are also featured. Highlights of the site 
include a 1998 interview with Osama bin Laden and a section 
called “Rhetorical Figures in Sound”, which provides links to over 200 
audio clips from well known speeches to historical media events.
