Interesting profile of 27-year-old Jon Favreau, speechwriter for Barack Obama, in the Chicago Tribune.
This article picks up on the musicality of great speeches. A trained pianist, Favreau gets these words of praise from senior advisor David Axelrod: "I call him Mozart because he's just this young creative genius. (Favreau and Obama) think in terms of the cadence of the words. Not just the meaning of the words but the cadence of the words, how they work together, how they sound together."
