Richard drummed his fingers on the arm of the chair waiting for his name to be called. The whirring of the drills increased his anxiety, but he held his head high with a sort of cowardly courage. Richard brushed and flossed his teeth like clockwork to avoid the wrath of the dentist's tools, so the news that he had four cavities certainly took him by surprise. He looked over to see the receptionist's poppy red hair peeking up from the high desk. When her voice called out his name, he felt like he was sinking in quicksand. A polite, sad smile came across his face as he stood up for his appointment.

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.
