1. Sir Winston Churchill was a British war leader, statesman, painter and writer whom some have labelled as the greatest man ever to speak in the English language. But many call
him the greatest English man of the present century. Born in 1874 in the lap of American
Jannie Jarome, Churchill was a descendent of the great Duke of Marlborough. Like many
men destined for greatness, Winston hated school, did badly at it and only just managed
to scrape into a career, in his case the army. He fought in Cuba, in India with Kitchener in
Egypt.
2. Then he went to South Africa in the Boer War as a War Correspondent. While in India, he
taught himself to write good prose and developed a grand masterly style which captured
the greatness of his times. In South Africa, he was captured, escaped on a train with a
price on his head and returned to England as a hero. But it was not so easy for him. He
had to face so many odds in his life.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
