There is also a short audio clip of Senator Biden telling how his stuttering could also be considered a gift. It is attached to http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad11/papers/gift11/GIFT.html If you watched the vice-presidental debate last night or his acceptance speech a few weeks ago, a very critical eye would have seen a few times when there were dysfluencies that could possibly be labeled overt stuttering symptoms - remnants of what he probably reacted to as a child. They are currently mild, basically unnoticeable, and he doesn't react to them. I believe he considers himself a recovered stutterer. He is certainly an effective communicator. Judy Kuster
