I am seeking some suggestions and/or direction with respect to answering the
following two questions.  Any insight would be most appreciated.  Thank you in
advance for your help.

        1)  Which of these three classical rhetors, Plato, Isocrates, or Cicero
would provide the best direction in terms of communication ethics for modern
politicians?

        2)  Which of these three modern rhetorical theorists, Weaver, Burke, or
Richards best represents the themes and direction of rhetorical theory for the
90's and beyond?

Clearly, there probably isn't a "right" answer to either question.  But I would
appreciate it very much if anyone would care to offer their opinions and to
support them.  I will be glad to compile the reponses and reissue them over this
hotline.  Thank you again.  Dennis
