Your silly giggle gives me hope; your gentle prayers give me strength; and you, my child, give me the reason to say to America,"You are at risk."

They will be few. I have not sough...

美国经典英文演讲100篇:Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech 6

And nor am I afraid that the precious two-party system is in danger. Certainly the Republican Party looked brutally alive a couple of weeks ago — and I mean both Republican parties.

美国经典英文演讲100篇:Television News Coverage 1

Tonight I want to discuss the importance of the television news medium to the American people. No nation depends more on the intelligent judgment of its citizens. No medium has a more profound influence over public opinion. Nowhere in our system are there fewer checks on vast power.
