The day was sunny but cool. Ernie kicked the leaves on the sidewalk as he walked home from the gym. Frowning, he kept replaying the game in his mind. For just a couple of seconds, he had let his guard down, and his opponent had taken advantage of the lapse to toss a long one right through the hoop. His opponent had moved his team ahead, and Ernie’s team had fallen farther and farther behind after that. Not that Ernie was playing by then. After his terrible lapse, Coach had benched him for the rest of the game. Ernie sighed. If he didn’t improve his concentration, he might not even get to play next time. He resolved to practice doubly hard all week.

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.
