Ipeered out the window at the lengthening shadows of the trees. we had been on the road for six hours, but it felt like sixty given the appalling surface. i was now worried that we wouldn’t arrive before nightfall, and my fears weren’t by the driver’s eccentric behaviour. although it was dark, he still hadn’t turned the van’s lights on. through my translator i enquired why, yet i immediately wished i hadn’t. there weren’t any. fearing that we might all have to spend a night in the jungle, i ventured another question beloved of children everywhere. “are we nearly there yet? ” just one more hour was the reply. i checked my watch. sunset was in 10 minutes. fifty minutes on an unmade trail at 40 miles per hour. in the jungle. in the dark. just great.

i lokey dunno!

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.
