DNA Deniers Prepare to Fight
Gemmell said that even if they don't find any monster DNA, it won't deter some Nessie
believers. He said they've already been offering him theories, like how Nessie might be
on vacation after swimming to the sea via hidden underwater caves. Another is that the
creature might be extraterrestrial and not leave behind any DNA.
"In our lives, we want there still to be mysteries, some of which we will ultimately

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.
