- Why Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address is considered one of the finest ever delivered
- The historical background behind Franklin D. Roosevelt's 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself' and John F. Kennedy's 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.'
