When i was very near, my raft struck and turned over. i can swim in our lakes—i swam to the shore. there was a great spike of rusted metal sticking out into the river—i hauled myself up upon it and sat there, panting. i had saved my bow and two arrows and the knife i found in the dead place but that was all. my raft went whirling downstream toward the bitter water. i looked after it, and thought if it had trod me under, at least i would be safely dead. nevertheless, when i had dried my bowstring and re-strung it, i walked forward to the place of the gods.

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.
