| ad2388a | But in the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history. In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind--too little food. Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| faa5509 | I know in my heart that man is good," the inscription on Reagan's tombstone reads, "that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life." | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 8cf56b3 | Most people live their lives as if the end were always years away. They measure their days in love, laughter, accomplishment, and loss. There are moments of sunshine and storm. There are schedules, phone calls, careers, anxieties, joys, exotic trips, favorite foods, romance, shame, and hunger. A person can be defined by clothing, the smell of his breath, the way she combs her hair, the shape of his torso, or even the company she keeps. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| f2ab6ef | Of the 9,600,000 Jews who lived in Nazi-dominated Europe, 60 percent are authoritatively estimated to have perished. Five million seven hundred thousand Jews are missing from the countries in which they formerly lived, and over 4,500,000 cannot be accounted for by the normal death rate nor by immigration; nor are they included among displaced persons. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 3cbbce4 | The term head, in reference to a toilet, comes from the special board extending from the "beak head" of the ship (the pointed bow) out over the ocean for passengers to use as a communal toilet. The wind and waves dispatch any odor or mess." | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 62f4f42 | It is ironic that the people who make history are some of the most bold, courageous, and passionate people that have ever walked the earth, but the actual writing of history is often so fact driven that all emotion is deflated from the telling of a person's life story. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

Primeval forest conceals his French Marines, Canadian militia, and Indian allies as they maneuver into position. Hidden behind boulders and ancient oak trees, they await the massive combined force of the British and colonial armies now marching toward them. Beaujeu's French and Indians are heavily outnumbered. Unlike the British, they don't have cannon that.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| 7a85cff | The United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS) is not aggressively pursuing war crimes prosecutions. Instead, it is recruiting members of the Nazi Party to spy against the Soviet Union. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| f9fd09f | Incredibly, Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, finds sanctuary with the OSS. | Bill O'Reilly | ||
| 1499e84 | I had 3,000 Einsatzgruppen members who every day went out and shot as many Jews as they could and Gypsies as well. I tried twenty-two, I convicted twenty-two, thirteen were sentenced to death, four of them were actually executed, the rest of them got out after a few years. "The other 3,000--nothing ever happened to them. Every day they had committed mass murder."5 But it is difficult to hide forever. And soon, with Benny Ferencz wrapping up.. | Bill O'Reilly | ||

| 8dd233d | The 49ers didn't have a first-round pick--it had been traded years earlier to the Bills in the O.J. Simpson trade--and Walsh was hoping to take Simms at the top of the second round. But the Giants took Simms seventh overall, and Walsh had to settle for Joe Montana with the last pick in the third round. | Gary Myers | ||

| 625a577 | You were perplexed by the women who came up to your swollen body. Remove your hands, you wanted to say. Don't touch me. What a blessing, they said. What a blessing?

One is begotten. One begets. | Ronlyn Domingue | ||

| 02c4a59 | They weren't surprised that you had gone to find the truth about the dragon and its treasure. Such curiosity is reasonable, said an elder woman. They all nodded. | Ronlyn Domingue | ||
| b0a4d64 | You felt like a beast, but you weren't simply one. Once you accepted the pregnancy was yours to bear, you did become vigilant. They were to grow. You were to tend them. But you were mystified by other women's joyfulness at your condition. You remembered overhearing, as a girl, their talk of how a young woman would hear a coo one day that would turn her soft and make her want a baby. Such a thing had never happened to you. | Ronlyn Domingue | ||

| 5d8c032 | But he felt disoriented and depressed amid these shifting, lunging, grabbing people from all over the country, who had been in his life for hours and were now about to disappear, taking their personal items and habits with them. | Mary Gaitskill | ||
| e9e1fa9 | This late-adolescent camaraderie gave their time at Meadow a fraught emotional quality that was like the shimmering fullness of a bead of water before it falls.
