520	1		_a"Public Discourse in America originated in the work of the Penn National Commission on Society, Culture and Community, convened in 1996 by Judith Rodin, President of the University of Pennsylvania. Distinguished members of the Commission, leading experts, commissioned researchers, and leaders in America's nascent public discourse movement offer unexpected insights and an optimistic vision of the health of our politics and culture. Readers - of all political persuasions - from the halls of political power to the streets of urban neighborhood, from newsrooms and studios to think tanks and universities, will find these essays opening up new paths to robust public discussion, more engaged citizenship, and stronger communities."--BOOK JACKET.
