美国经典英文演讲100篇:Truth and Tolerance in America(2)

[Falwell: Somewhat] Somewhat, he says. This is, of course, a nonpolitical speech which is probably best under the circumstances. Since I am not a candidate for President, it would certainly be inappropriate to ask for your support in this election and probably inaccurate to thank you for it in the last one.

美国经典英文演讲100篇:Truth and Tolerance in America(7)

美国经典英文演讲100篇:Television News Coverage 7

Nor is their power confined to the substantive. A raised eyebrow, an inflection of the voice, acaustic remark dropped in the middle of a broadcast can raise doubts in a million minds about the veracity of a public official or the wisdom of a Government policy.

And college enrollment will increase by more than 3 million. In...
