1. when mtv first launched, explain how the station got enough content to fill 24 hours of music television.

When MTV first launched in 1981, record companies and bands had remained making music videos for 20 years or so but they weren't known as music videos. No one had thought before MTV to put these videos together and play them successively and repeatedly.

When MTV firs aired in 1981, the many record companies and bands were already making music videos. They have been doing so for 20 years already. It seems that, before MTV, nobody thought about putting those together and airing them continuously and repeatedly. That's what MTV did.

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.
