Excerpt from Marsupials
Carole Jenkins
Tasmania is an island south of Australia and is the home of two marsupials, the wombat and the Tasmanian devil. Some people
think that wombats make good pets. They are about three feet long and live in borrows. As nocturnal vegetarians, they feed at
night on leaves, roots, and vegetables. Tasmanian devils, on the other hand, are savage and do not make good pets. They
resemble small bears, and they kill and eat other animals.

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.
