excerpt from Tea
Tea is one of those beverages that people all over the world consume, regardless of culture, time, or age. But how
much do we really know about tea? Tea is produced from a plant known as the Camellia sinensis. There are actually
thousands of different kinds of tea. The variations occur as a result of the region where the plant is grown, the time at
which the tea leaves are harvested, and the processing method. Each variety of tea has its individual characteristics,
including different tastes and health benefits.

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.
