UPDATE: YIKES! I corrected my misspelling of Pulitzer!
One of my favorite writers (and a great speechwriter for Reagan), although to be honest I haven't paid that much attention to her Wall Street Journal columns the last couple of years. Guess I should have. In the past I read a number of her books. The one that made her famous was her book on the Reagan years What I Saw at the Revolution, which she wrote in 1990 and is a great read. If you want to polish up on your own speaking, Noonan's book On Speaking Well, How to Give a Speech With Style, Substance and Clarity is excellent.
From the Journal article last night -
Ms. Noonan has written her weekly Declarations column since 2000, and she has long been a favorite of Journal readers.
She is the author of nine books on American politics, history and culture, from her most recent, “The Time of Our Lives,” to her first, “What I Saw at the Revolution.” She is one of ten historians and writers who contributed essays on the American presidency for the book, “Character Above All.”
