How can you tell a rock from a mineral? you can usually tell just by looking at it. though rocks are made from minerals, they look entirely different. rocks are usually gray or brown, and they don't have a definite shape. if you took a small hammer and broke the rock apart, you would find that the inside color is not always the same as the outside. also, rocks feel rough to the touch. while they have no crystals, they can have fossils! minerals are usually quite colorful. that beautiful color is the same on the inside and the outside. they are shiny and smooth to the touch. they do have crystals, but they cannot have fossils! choose the sentence that best summarizes the information. a) minerals are more beautiful than rocks. b) minerals and fossils are different in color. c) rocks and minerals are different in color, how they feel when touched, and the materials that make them. d) the rock's outside color is sometimes different from its inner color.

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.
