american automobile industry, the contribution to the war effort. i do not think it is a stretch to say we could not have won the war without the efforts from the american automobile manufacturers. what the automobile industry could bring to the table was technical know-how, expertise, techniques of mass production, best represented by the bomber airplanes being built by ford motor company. they were being built out and will run, just a little bit west of detroit. ford was able to produce an airplane every 62 minutes. and our bringing parts to finished product, fantastic. they were building tanks, jeeps, rifles, helmets, ammunition, almost any product you can imagine. and again, they were able to do this in volume that other industries could not approach. the automobile industry was able to keep other manufacturers afloat. this is a 1943 willis silverlight and. willis and ford originally tried to design their own spin on the jeep. made one each better than their competitor. the government had to step in and say, no, we will make the plans, you build the cars. when you're out in the

few words about why i am in opposition to mr. kavanaugh. i think many americans have a pretty good sense of what the function of congress is, what the president of the united states does, but in fact i think many americans do not fully appreciate the role that the supreme court plays in our lives in the past decade alone, the supreme court has issued some incredibly controversial and, to my mind, disastrous decisions that have had a profound impact on the lives of the american people. and let me just review for a moment why this nomination is so very important by looking at what the supreme court, often by a 5-4 vote, a one-vote majority, has done in recent years. mr. president, if you go out onto the streets of, i this i, any community in the -- of, i think, any community in the united states of america, whether it is a conservative area or a progressive area, what most people will tell you is that we have a corrupt campaign finance system, a system which today, as we speak, allows billionaires to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy elections. and most americans, whether

what happened in helsinki today. let's not mince words. today was a terrible day for the american people and for all of our allies. we did not negotiate from a position of strength. we acted from a position of weakness. as a result, one of the world's worst deathbeds walked away today from helsinki with the wind. vladimir putin is leaving helsinki with an undeserved legitimacy. the united states took a loss today when we backed away from our long-standing commitment to principle american leadership and frankly we walked away from basic reality. today the press asks the president of the united states who he believed on the subject of russian information on in 2016. did he believe in the men and women of the u.s. intelligence community where did he believe in vladimir putin, a member of the russian intelligence community, a thug turned dataset. the choice was between people risking their lives on behalf of our freedom in people who go around the world taking people's lives to limit freedom. the president of the united states answered, quote, he didn't see any reason, close quote, wh

the american political novel. he -- first it is beautifully written. he is a great craftsman who wrote about politics. you could add in a few people like steinbeck and others. it was a that she was a gifted writer. he captures the paradox of politics and power. politics is inevitable and necessary and you have to have power to make things happen and to bring about change. he also talks about how power intoxicatingand for somebody who wields it and powers shapes the power wielder in the case of governor willie stark, loosely based on huey long. it captures that story. most important way, that book is important because it is about responsibility. governorbook is about isrks aid, jack arden who from the oligarchy, he is from the privileged class, highly educated, a former reporter and he gets sucked and and he becomes the back man and the dirt collector and does horrible thats and rationalizes doing someed person good things is ok to work with. late in the novel does he come to understand the moral awakening about good and bad. nobody in american literature has captured that as well
