Herrick: Overview of Rhetoric

In his "Overview of Rhetoric," Herrick notes the many functions rhetoric holds in professional, social, and personal pursuits (e.g. sports, medicine, love affairs). Where else do we encounter and practice rhetoric?

How does Herrick define rhetoric and what features of rhetorical discourse does he identify? What connections do these ideas have to technical writing? (Draw on Lannon as well as your impressions of what technical means.)
