ABSTRACT:
A 5 page overview of the Reagan administrations partial responsibility for the 1986 space shuttle explosion and the loss of the lives of its seven crew members.

A neo-Aristotelian analysis of his speech the day of the incident addresses the five canons of invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
