The theme of the issue is "Funny Business," and Dr. Seidman's piece is titled "U.S. Presidential Campaign Slogans: In Other Word …," and it deals with the manipulation of American voters through catchphrases, giving examples from 1800 through 2012.

The Phi Kappa Phi Forum is a quarterly magazine published by The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
