  • Follow a Columnist – 1St Semester
    Follow A Columnist – 1st Semester Originated by Jim Veal; modified by S. Ables 2/5/2016 Some of the most prominent practitioners of stylish written rhetoric in our culture are newspaper columnists. Sometimes they are called pundits – that is, sources of opinion, or critics. On the reverse side find a list of well-know newspaper columnists. Select one (or another one that I approve of) and complete the tasks below. Please start a new page and label as TASK # each time you start a new task. TASK 1: Inform Ms. Ables of your selection for the columnist you will follow. DUE THUR/FRI September 15/16 TASK 1—Brief Biography to reveal their bias. DUE TUES/WED September 27/28 — 10 points Write a brief (100-200 word) biography of the columnist. Suggestions of details to include: birthdate, childhood, education, career, previous jobs, awards, unique experiences, etc. I suggest you import a picture of the author if possible. TASK 2—Five Annotated Columns, complete with a Rhetorical Triangle. DUE TUE/WED November 29/30—50 points Make copies from newspapers or magazines or download them from the internet. All articles must come from the current year. I suggest cutting and pasting the columns into Microsoft word and double-spacing them because it makes them easier to annotate and work with. Your annotations should emphasize such things as: - the assertion of the columnist - identify appeals to logos, pathos, or ethos - what rhetorical strategies are being used to support their assertion? - the tone (or tones) of the column - errors of logic (if any) that appear in the column (logical fallacies) - the way the author uses sources, the type of sources the author uses (Be sure to pay attention to this one!) - the apparent audience the author is writing for - in other words, look for all the components in our Rhetorical Triangle.

  • Manifesto for a Humane True Libertarianism
    Manifesto for a Humane True Libertarianism Deirdre Nansen McCloskey July 4, 2018 The first chapters of Humane True Liberalism, forthcoming 2019, Yale University Press. All rights reserved. #1. Libertarians are liberals are democrats are good I make here the case for a new and humane version of what is often called “libertarianism.” Thus the columnist George Will at the Washington Post or David Brooks at the New York Times or Steve Chapman at the Chicago Tribune or Dave Barry at the Miami Herald or P. J . O'Rourke at the National Lampoon, Rolling Stone, and the Daily Beast. Humane libertarianism is not right wing or reactionary or some scary creature out of Dark Money. In fact, it stands in the middle of the road—recently a dangerous place to stand—being tolerant and optimistic and respectful. It’s True Liberal, anti- statist, opposing the impulse of people to push other people around. It’s not “I’ve got mine," or “Let’s be cruel.” Nor is it “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you, by force of arms if necessary.” It’s “I respect your dignity, and am willing to listen, really listen, helping you if you wish, on your own terms.” When people grasp it, many like it. Give it a try. In most of the world the word “libertarianism” is still plain "liberalism," as in the usage of the middle-of-the-road, anti-“illiberal democracy” president of France elected in 2017, Emmanuel Macron, with no “neo-” about it. That's the L-word I’ll use here.

    Alumni Magazine Winter2003 Paper Trails ANDREW SILK’S LEGACY I L.A. STORY: JOHN CARROLL I DAVE BARRY’S RULES A Natural Fit There was a time when prominent newspaper journalists were associated with large universities with graduate programs, like Columbia, Missouri, Northwestern, and Syracuse. Times have changed. As Dennis Stern ’69 points out on page 38, there is increasing specialization in the newspaper business. Haverford is not about specialization. In the true spirit of liberal learning, the College does not offer a major in journalism or communications (nor do Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore, for that matter). There are no journalism courses. Even so, Haverford has produced what seems to be an inordinate number of journalists for a college its size. Haverford prepares students for a lifetime of asking questions, a lifetime of thinking analytically. Haverford and journalism are a natural fit. Haverford also delivers exposure to Haverford alumni who’ve gone on to Jill Sherman careers in journalism. The Silk Journalism Panel (see p. 27), is the annual Vice President for on-campus opportunity for the bi-college community to meet Institutional Advancement and hear from journalism’s front lines. Stephen Heacock Editor, Executive Director of There’s also some history. Felix Morley ’15, left the editorship Marketing & Communications of the Washington Post, where he’d won a Pulitzer Prize for Tom Ferguson editorial writing in 1936, to serve as Haverford’s sixth president. Production Manager, Class News Editor Haverford alumni have claimed four Pulitzers in the past 20 Brenna McBride years: David Wessel ’75 in 1984; Dave Barry ’69 in 1988; Staff Writer Roy Gutman ’66 in 1993; and Jack Rakove ’68 in 1997.
