Preface
this distinction prevailed until august 2006, when the
international astronomical union (iau), prompted by
pressure from the professional community of planetary
acientists as well as from the general publie, brought
pluto's planethood to a vote at a triennial general assembly
in prague, czech republie. the result? pluto was formally
downgraded from planet" to dwarf planet" thereby
to diffuse the negative attention that we had been
receiving for six years running
– neil degrasse tyson, the pluto file
interview
over the years, people started realizing that maybe that
kind of makes sense, and six years later, the international
astronomical union, they took a vote, and basically they
aaid pluto should be reclassified. so we were, in the end,
kind of vindicated
- neil degrasse tyson, interview by melissa block,
"aatrophysiciat chronicles battle over pluto"

In which part of this excerpt from the gettysburg address does president abraham lincoln argue that the outcome of the war will depend on the determination and loyalty of northern citizens? four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. we are met on a great battle-field of that war. we have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow— this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
