Fred is a party guy. His friends generally think well of him and typically count on him to be the life of the party. Lately, however, Fred has not been invited to very many parties. His friends have not told him why and they avoid him whenever possible, but they do talk among themselves. They believe Fred is drinking too much since he has started getting in trouble with the law. When a friend approaches Fred about having his name in the paper related to an alcohol-related arrest, Fred becomes very defensive and storms out of the room, claiming it was a "set up" by his ex, and then he heads for the local bar down the street. What stage is Fred in when it comes to his drinking?

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.
