The correct answer is "To play poker".

Explanation:

In Colin Linden's "Lucky Charm", the speaker starts his story by telling how his father "Little Willie" took him to Black-eyed Pete's "Emporium" on the day he turned seven. At the Emporium the young boy could hear how teenagers were playing pool games and on pinball machines, however his father went there to play illegal backroom poker games. The fact that Willie went to the Emporium to play poker games in a city where gambling is legal, tells about how Willie was obsessed with playing poker.

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.
