Maybe she'd like to help me coach Raymond; she

obviously is serious about running, as any fool can see.

And she nods to congratulate me and then she smiles.

And I smile. We stand there with this big smile of respect

between us. It's about as real a smile as girls can do for

each other, considering we don't practice real smiling

every day, you know, cause maybe we too busy being

flowers or fairies or strawberries instead of something

honest and worthy of respect... you know ... like being

people.

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.
