Read the following passage:
returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds
of screaming people waving signs - not just on one road,
one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the
streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle
of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a
monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us
up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it
were our fault.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
