This study examined the relationship between communication apprehension (CA), gender, and time on turn‐requesting and turn‐yielding behavior in initial interactions. In general, CA seemed to be more closely related to differences in turn‐requesting than turn‐yielding behaviors. Females employed different turn‐taking beliaviors than males. Low CA females used considerably different turn‐taking behaviors than high CA males. For instance, low CA females used head nodding more than interruptions, simultaneous talk, or stutter starts to request a turn. The reverse pattern was in evidence for high CA males. Turn‐taking behaviors were not found to be significantly different during the first five minutes compared to the last five minutes of a twenty minute interaction. These and other results are discussed at the conclusion of this report.

Communication flexibility has long been recognized as an essential component of communication competence. This article reports the development of a communication flexibility scale and corresponding validity and reliability information. The Communication Flexibility Scale demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability; communication flexibility was positively related to social desirability and communication adaptability, yet was not related to rhetorical sensitivity. Discussion focused on future scale research and conceptual definitions of the constructs.

Rhetorical theory and criticism offer scant advice on approaching multiple audiences, despite that fact that much discourse addresses heterogeneous audiences. This analysis of Chief Justice Marshall's Supreme Court opinion in the case of Marbury v. Madison illustrates the use of separation and incorporation (a form of integration) in a multiple audience situation. It also offers insight on a landmark case in the development of our tripartite system of government.

The extant literature has examined the structural elements of social support, or the supportive functions of interpersonal relationships of smokers. Seldom have they been studied in conjunction. A questionnaire assessed the frequency with which general and smoking specific support was given to people who went on to become successful abstainers or relapsed during the last attempt to quit, as well as the smoking status of the persons who made up the smoker's network. Results revealed some differential relationships between network composition and type of social support given, depending on the eventual smoking status of the individual.

Elizabeth Walker Mechling, J. Mechling
The attractiveness of the “mythopoetic men's movement,” especially as represented by poet Robert Bly's Iron John (1990), to the American “New Class” invites the rhetorician of social movements to account for the movement's appeal for cultural revitalization of American masculinity in the late 1980s. Bly creates an oral‐based “speakerly text” that introduces pieces of metaphoric clusters (e.g., dark/light, wounded/healed, soft/hard, savage/wild) attractive to men experiencing the discontents of the New Class. The narratives of the movement offer the power of stories, the power of status, and the power of essentialism. The argument for essentialism signals the greatest departure of this movement from previous New Class social movements and creates a gender division in the class.

James E. Helmer
This qualitative field study describes the organizational storytelling in naturally occurring contexts at a harness racetrack. It explores how three organizational tensions—administration vs. horsemen, “chemists” vs. honest horsemen, and men vs. women—are produced and reproduced through storytelling. The author argues that storytelling creates and sustains symbolic oppositions that enable members to position themselves and others in the organization. Thus storytelling serves to stratify the organization along lines of power and authority, gender, and ethics.

D. Heisey
This essay is a preliminary examination, based on Solomon's textual interaction approach, of Anatoly Sobchak's rhetoric in his book For a New Russia. It argues that Sobchak's call for a rule of law in opposition to nomenklatura is a code for Russian nationalism. He uses the democratic strategy and reformist language as a means to obtain a traditional Russian end of power. This process is illustrated in his political campaign to get elected, in his exposure of corruption in the Congress, and in his support of Yeltsin's overthrow of the Moscow coup. His text, made to interact with the texts of other readers, discloses an interpretation of Sobchak that does not appear on the surface.

Ralph R. Smith, Russel R. Windes
In The Force of Fantasy, Ernest Bormann creates a misleading dichotomy between evangelical, conversionary abolitionists and secular, radical abolitionists. By relying on superseded historical interpretation, he has constructed a narrative based on this dichotomy which leads to confusion about the origins and dynamics of abolitionist rhetoric. This essay seeks to amend Bormann's narrative by employing terministic analysis to trace the development of radical abolitionism to its origins in evangelical religion. Such analysis can enrich our understanding of abolitionist rhetoric and point to new directions for research in rhetorical movement studies.

Roger C. Aden, C. L. Reynolds
The writing in Sports Illustrated locates sport in the metaphorical, American version of the Elysian Fields. Because the metaphor is of a place rather than a concept, a number of different symbolic forms interact within the confines of Sports Illustrated’s field. For instance, the place metaphor itself is constructed through the collision of American realities and Elysian Fields ideals. This intersection of symbolic forms produces a metaphor that Sports Illustrated's readers can use to resist American culture's machine metaphor.

John Locke's experiential‐based philosophy of knowledge provided the foundation for later epistemological‐psychological rhetorics associated with eighteenth‐century British rhetorical theory. Adam Smith's conception of rhetoric is one of the earliest contributions to eighteenth‐century rhetorical theory. This essay examines the epistemological assumptions guiding Smith's view of rhetoric and argues that Smith's philosophical commitments are grounded in the scientific, empiricist, and psychological tradition advocated by Locke. The theoretical relationship linking Locke with Smith helps illuminate the communicative characteristics of Smith's rhetoric as well as the evolution of modern rhetorical theory.
