- 101: U-2 Incident
- ... here because my lasting faith in the decent instincts and good sense of the people who populate this world of ours." In this spirit of good will, Eisenhower presented the Soviets with his Open Skies proposal. In it he proposed that each side provide full descriptions of all their military facilities and allow for aerial inspections to insure the information was correct. The Soviets rejected the proposal. Eisenhower was disappointed, but not surprised.

- 104: Cambodia And United Nations
- ... Cambodia and still the violence and economic problems continue. I seriously think that people should help more than they are doing now, and make this a big situation because many lives are at stake. My proposal to the United Nations Economic Council is that they start donating some money to Cambodia to help out their economy. By building up their economy they can use their money to build schools, hospitals, and more roads. By having educated people, more people could go and get jobs and strengthen the economy even more. My second proposal is towards the Human Rights Council of the United Nations. The Human Rights Council should send food and medical aid to Cambodia. They should and could do this until the economy of Cambodia gets better and good enough to support its own people. My third proposal to the United Nations is towards the Security Council. With a lot of violence going on in Cambodia, there needs to be some authority that can take control. The Security Council should send down ...

- 107: The Canterbury Tales: A Character Sketch of Chaucer's Knight
- ... Africa, and Asia Minor where he "was of [great] value in all eyes (l. 63). Even though he has had a very successful and busy career, he is extremely humble: Chaucer maintains that he is "modest as a maid" (l. 65). Moreover, he has never said a rude thing to anyone in his entire life (cf., ll. 66-7). Clearly, the knight possesses an outstanding character. Chaucer gives to the knight ... The knight can do no wrong: he is an outstanding warrior who has fought for the true faith--according to Chaucer--on three continents. In the midst of all this contenton, however, the knight remains modest and polite. The knight is the embodiment of the chivalric code: he is devout and courteous off the battlefield and is bold and fearless on it. In twentieth century America, we would like to think that we have many people in our society who are like Chaucer's knight. During this nation's altercation with Iraq in 1991, the concept of the modest but effective soldier captured the imagination of the country.
