“The events in Prague, together with the Berlin blockade, convinced the European recipients of American economic assistance that they needed military protection as well: that led them to request the creation of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which committed the United States for the first time ever to the peacetime defense of Western Europe.” FirstsWellsStatesTogetherUnitedUnited StatesEconomicMilitaryEventsCreationNeededFirst TimeEuropeOrganizationWesternCommittedProtectionDefenseConvincedAssistanceRequestBerlinTreatiesWestern EuropePragueBlockades Author:John Lewis
“After a short period spent in Brussels as a guest of a neurological institute, I returned to Turin on the verge of the invasion of Belgium by the German army, Spring 1940, to join my family. The two alternatives left then to us were either to emigrate to the United States, or to pursue some activity that needed neither support nor connection with the outside Aryan world where we lived. My family chose this second alternative. I then decided to build a small research unit at home and installed it in my bedroom.” WorldTwoStatesHomeLeftUnitedUnited StatesSupportNeededPeriodsActivitySpringResearchMy FamilyConnectionsDecidedArmyPursueAlternativesGuestsBedroomUnitsAutobiographyInvasionInstituteVergeBelgiumBrussels Author:Rita Levi-Montalcini
“All that the Y.M.C.A.'s horse and rings really accomplished was to fill me with an ineradicable distaste, not only for Christian endeavor in all its forms, but also for every variety of calisthenics, so that I still begrudge the trifling exertion needed to climb in and out of a bathtub, and hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.

“I do believe that the very tense relationship between the United States and Iran presents a challenge to the United States.

“In the peace process, the partner doesn't just sit and allow things to deteriorate to the point of disaster.

“Since the advent of the atomic bomb, the United States has always needed two kinds of enemies. On one level, it has needed a tactical enemy that it can go out and fight in the field in a shooting war. Since 1945, these enemies have been created and appeared as North Korea, North Vietnam, Grenada, El Salvador, Panama, Iraq and now Colombia. On another level, however, the US needs a strategic enemy that will justify outrageous expenditures of capital for strategic weapon systems like ICBMs, Trident submarines and "Star Wars" missile defence systems.” NeedsKindHas BeensTwoWarStatesFightingStarsLevelsUnitedEnemyUnited StatesFieldsNeededWeaponsIraqShootingBombsJustifyVietnamKoreaDefenceStrategicNorth KoreaOutrageousMissilesAdventAtomic BombExpendituresColombiaTacticalSubmarinesPanamaEl SalvadorGrenada Author:Michael Ruppert
“The lack of quality dance music and the fact that here in the United States, house music is not seen as anything viable by the music industry. I figured that this might be another shot at the industry looking at the possibilities of house music and giving it a little bit more legitimacy than what they give it. It's a host of different things, but it's something that I needed to say musically.” GivingLittlesDifferentStatesFactsMightHouseBitsUnitedQualityUnited StatesPossibilityIndustryNeededLittle BitMusic IsShotsDifferent ThingsHostMusic IndustryLegitimacyDance MusicHouse Music Author:Frankie Knuckles
“Moammar Gadhafi and the revolt against Gadhafi was not started by the United States. It was started by the Libyan people. And the reason why I argued we needed to get involved is because he was going to go one way or the other.
