Using a new technique for thematic transcription of a debate between Supervisor Harvey Milk and Senator John Briggs over a proposed law which would have removed gay teachers, it rethinks debate success and posits how this analysis could be used to think through debate performance today. Keyphrases: Debate, educational policy, floor control
