During this time Nader conducted a study that recommended the federal government get more involved in promoting auto safety. In 1965, after leaving the labor department, Nader finished the book he started while working with the labor department. This book, entitled Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed –in Dangers of the American Automobile would fuel his consumer advocacy legacy. Unsafe at Any Speed attacked the Detroit auto industry for what Nader described as an emphasis on profits and style over safety. In February 1966, Nader delivered an indictment of the auto industry before Senator Ribicoff’s subcommittee.

In an attempt to achieve his purpose of convincing steel companies to reduce prices, JFK employs the rhetorical devices of anaphora and logos. During the course of his speech, JFK repeatedly used anaphora to help achieve his purpose. He said, “…when we are confronted with grave crisis in Berlin and Southeast Asia, when we are devoting our energies to economic recovery and stability, when we are asking Reservists to leave their homes and families for months on end…” He started each of his statements with “when we are” to show what the nation is actually going through at the moment. He then shows how these would be worsened even further if the steel companies maintained the price increase. JFK also said, “It would make it more difficult for American goods to compete in foreign markets, more difficult to withstand competition from foreign imports, and thus more difficult to improve our balance of payment position, and stem the flow of gold.” He repeatedly started with the phrase “more difficult”.
Nixon was quoted in de-classified CIA documents as saying “make their economy scream (in Chile to) prevent Allende from coming to power or to unseat him.” The United States main goal was to get rid of the Marxist government and they had two approaches. The first was Track 1. Track 1 was to persuade Chilean congress to confirm Jorge Allesandri as
Lakiesha M. Brown September 4, 2014 Modern American History Phase 3 Individual Project Reagan and the “Evil Empire” Reagan’s “Evil Empire” Speech President Ronald Reagan spoke to the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) on March 8, 1983 and he used the term “evil empire” to describe the Soviet Union. Many Americans heard or read the phrase and remembered it for years. It was written in extraordinary terms that President Reagan used to express his view on why the United States had been locked in a cold war with the Soviet Union since the end of World War II. The speech, known as Reagan's “Evil Empire” Speech, was not only about the cold war, the Soviet Union, or international affairs. The speech was about moral values, particularly how they underlay American democracy and how political disagreements were often moral issues.
Roosevelt, the president of America, Stalin the general secretary of Russia and Churchill the prime minister of Britain met to talk about how they were going to stop a Hitler (and his army – Nazi’s) from taking over and killing more innocents. They met twice during world war two, and these meetings were called “conferences”. The first time they met was in a city called Teheran in the country of Iran in November 1943. Churchill and Roosevelt agreed to send another group of soldiers to help stop then bad men (Hitler and the Nazis’), they called this action the “second front”. Stalin’s country nicknamed themselves the “Soviet Union” and he got Roosevelt and Churchill to agree that he and the Soviet Union could declare war on Japan once Hitler and Germany were defeated.
Roosevelt realized that if he kept the banks open, panicked depositors would withdraw their money and more banks would fail. On March 6, FDR declared a "bank holiday." Meanwhile, he and his Brain Trust, a group of academics and economic theorists he had brought to the White House, crafted the Emergency Banking Act, a plan which would close down insolvent banks and reorganize and reopen those banks strong enough to survive. The speed with which the Emergency Banking Act bill was written, passed by Congress, and put into practice typified the frenetic pace of the Hundred Days. Roosevelt delivered a draft of the act to the House of Representatives on March 9.
Throughout his speech in which he criticizes steel companies for raising their prices, President Kennedy labels the national effects and future outcomes that these companies will cause. On April 11,1962, he attempted to rally Americans and force steel companies to lower their prices for the good of the country. In this address, President Kennedy integrated stylistic elements such as anaphora and appeals to pathos in order to clearly achieve his goal of convincing steel companies to lower prices. Kennedy, a successful and well educated man, has already established credibility toward his audience. By articulating all the negative consequences of the steel industry’s decision, he brings forth a sense unity toward Americans.
Court-Packing By: JT Page President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "New Deal", a series of economic programs designed to counter the devastating effects of the Great Depression, faced many challenges in the courts. During President Roosevelt's first term in office, the Supreme Court struck down several provisions and statutes included in New Deal programs; including the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Railroad Retirement Act, and the Agricultural Adjustment Act. On February 8, 1937, the Senate Judiciary Committee met to consider President Roosevelt's request to increase membership on the Supreme Court. To counter the impact of the Court's decisions on the New Deal reforms, President Roosevelt proposed legislation that would have altered the makeup of the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937, which provided for broad reform of the federal judicial system, allowed President Roosevelt to appoint an additional member to the Supreme Court for every sitting justice over the age of 70, which would have resulted in a total of six new justices at the time the bill was introduced.
However, throughout his period as leader, Russia saw the dominance of corruption and nepotism. At the beginning of his reign, Brezhnev combined the role of head of state with general secretary, meaning he could assert supreme power and authority. This suggests that his imperial power was of greater concern than maintaining the soviet system. Brezhnev aimed for ‘developed socialism’ as opposed to Khrushchev’s communism in 20 years; again his own personal power appeared to be of great importance as in order to impose these changes and gain utmost support from the politburo, Brezhnev employed his own supporters into leading positions in the government. These appointees greatly opposed significant or radical changes and reforms, giving Brezhnev the support in the side-lining or blocking of many of Kosygin’s attempts at economic reform.
