This book has even less good speeches than that of "Graduation Day." There are just too many speeches that are convenient for the speakers and not primarily spoken for the benefits of the graduates. Also, there are a lot of bland speeches.

With this said, there are a few good ones in this book: The speeches by Robert D. Ballard and Marian Wright Edelman are the best. The one by Neil Simon is also pretty good.

The best book so far on graduation speeches is "Graduation Moments."
