(1) nearly every family has members who don't get along. (2) but for some, these disagreements grow into painful feuds that can last for years. (3) fortunately, there are strategies that can heal even the most difficult family feuds. (4) the first step is to get people to share the blame for their disagreement. (5) family rifts are rarely caused by a single person. (6) for healing to take place, then, everyone involved must accept responsibility for his or her part in the conflict. (7) the second step is to increase the communication between family members. (8) writing a note, making a phone call, or attending a family event allows people to express their feelings to each other. (9) such actions show care and rebuild damaged relationships. (10) a third step is to set realistic goals. (11) a family feud that has lasted for thirty years will not be solved by a single talk. (12) however, that talk may lead to a truce and build a foundation for healing.

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.
