Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Steve Brenneis responds to Behethland B. Clark:

Dan Wolber is a nice guy and a reasonably good English teacher, but he is a dedicated communist and atheist and it took a lot of extra effort to overcome those influences. I think I would prefer a more neutral political outlook in someone who teaches English.

"Brave New World" should also be on the list.
