Good evening and welcome to Montpellier Civic Forum as we count our way down to town meeting day 2020 and this is one of a series of programs that help you to meet the candidates and become familiarized with the issues And we've got some really interesting shows to watch This is for the rare years where we have two open seats in one district, which is district three and with Ashley Hills Resignation we have a one-year term and then we have the normal two-year term actually with Glenn Hutchinson's Not resignation, but his desire to return back to private life and then in district two and district one We have incumbents Connor Casey and Donna Bate Who are unchallenged and we put them together in one show that went so long And it's broken into two and it's a great show And we have all the candidates in district three and that was really good We also have a we have Anne Watson our mayor talking about what it's like to be mayor and Basically she goes through the issues and then we have Bill Fraser on the city budget And we have Libby on the school budget. Those were good shows as well now tonight We're focusing in on the school district and we have the candidates for school district each of them has their own show and This is this is the challenge of the night is to mispronounce this man's name is almost everyone does on a Kate Anakit Anakit Kulkarni. That's right. Okay, would you pronounce it now? Oh, well, I'll pronounce it I usually do Anakit Kulkarni That sounded approximately what I said. Yes, that's yeah, so it's very close so, you know, I'll let it slide and Which district do you live in in Montpelier? I live in district. I live in that's a good question. I don't know which district exactly I live in but I live up Townhill Road, so I think that's district two. Yeah. Yeah, and You're running for school board. I am. Is this the first time you've run for an office in Montpelier? I am I am but this is the first time I'm running for an office any office Now at what point now you probably as young as you are relative to me, of course Um, you probably have a child in the school. I do. I have a daughter who's in Main Street Middle School She goes to eighth grade And she went through Union Elementary. That is correct. She went through she removed in 2011 And she started the kindergarten. So she went through the union and then The middle school and then next year she was going to be in the high school Now what gave you the thought? I want to be on the school board. I mean, there's tons of parents who have kids who started in kindergarten Went to the middle school and are going into high school next year Who don't step forward to the school board? Well to be honest, this was not on my radar to to run for the school board And I have been you know as with any parent I've been reading up on on the school affairs And just paying attention to what's going on in general But the thought never crossed my mind that I need you know, um, maybe I should I should join the board Um One of the current board members michelle brawn I got a call who has been on the board seemingly forever. She has been who chose not to stay on the board Yeah, and so, um, she reached out To my wife my wife tara. She teaches in norwich and She is an environmental professor. And so She has worked with michelle in the past. And so michelle was reaching out to her um and and She was looking for um, she she told tara that even though she knew tara's plate was full She was asking if I would be interested in in running for The school board. What did michelle see in this? This sounds more insulting than it isn't it isn't insulting But what did michelle see in in you that she thought would be appropriate for the board? That would be a question for her But what how did she approach your wife? I mean, what was it that that? She was saying What need would you fit on the board? Well, um, I talked to michelle a little bit about this when when Tara, you know kind of put us in contact and Um And again, I don't want to speak for her one of the things maybe is what I bring to the table as a You know as I come from a different background. I'm an engineer I went to engineering school Studied civil and environmental engineering, but then I switched lines and I'm I have a it company that I run So I I'm a I come from a business background. And so Perhaps the you know bringing in a different perspective Might be good for the board But again, I I don't want to speak for her or what she what she thought as a parent with an it company and as a parent who basically As an engineer and looking at maintenance of old buildings and and our infrastructure of our schools Um, have you had that as an eye from kindergarten as to how your daughter was taught it in our schools? Um, I have we've always been have a sideways eye to that Yes and no, um, we've always been Kind of parents who want to get involved in our child's life and especially the education and Coming from a different background we we both me and my wife grew up in india and so This was 40 years ago. So the the school climate and how Um, you know things are taught. It's completely different Um, in what sense so let's talk about elementary school. Sure. Sure. Let me give you an example. Um, and I My wife and I have talked about this at length Um in india at least when we were growing up. It was a rigid system.   Yeah, there were 80 kids to one teacher and so so it had to be disciplined You know, you can't have 80 kids running around public school. It was a public school setting And it was throughout india that was that Was most of the public schools were that way Things have changed a little bit But you know the point of me telling you is this when we come into this school culture shock It was it was a I mean we knew because I both of us came To do our masters. And so we were you know, the higher education we were very we were familiar with it But looking at the the the kindergarten level and right from that age where the class sizes are 2025 That's a huge difference. And so initially our reaction was well You know 20 is amazing 25 is amazing when we are coming back from you know, 80 kids to a teacher So there's a there's a huge You know disparity there But again going back to Another difference is how how teachers and kids interact with each other which we thought was amazing over here Were child-based. Yes, exactly. Exactly. And so each What that allows you to do where you have a main teacher and a support teacher For 2025 kids what that allows you to do is Spend enough time with the kid and know what works for them what doesn't work for them And so we we saw that as a as a huge positive thing And so we were you know really impressed with that Is your daughter bilingual? Uh, she she actually knows three languages And those would be English hindi and well, she doesn't know she she can understand a little bit hindi but my native language is marathi, which is You know different than hindi. Where is marathi spoken? In Mumbai primarily but the the Mumbai is a city and the state maharashtra, which is where Which is the native language and my wife comes from southern part of india. And so she speaks a different language What language? Well, this is educational tonight And how do those vary from hindi, which is I suppose national languages? Hindi is a national language. They they all share the same script But they're different languages um Her language doesn't actually have a written script. So they you know just get that but I mean many of these languages are You know they are based off of sanskrit And so, you know the the script is is is sanskrit or they have nagari script Now when your daughter arrived in kindergarten at mount pillier Was she fully fluent in in english? She was um she So we moved you know we as I said we we've Me and my wife came to do masters and we met here and then we had our daughter So she was she was born. She was born in florida. So we were in florida at that time And then we went back a couple years to india And then came back and so she has always been You know well worst in dia My daughter has been well worst in three languages because you know I speak marathi to her my wife speaks Konkani with her and then dia all around her is english. So you know she She's learning all three in kindergarten. Did she did she feel welcome culturally welcome? Yes, I mean this is not a diverse community in one. It is not an ethically diverse. It is not but but I mean that's that's the credit goes to the people of montpellier. I mean we felt welcome right from day one um and and Not only us, but yeah dia felt very welcome and she she You know she fit right into In with her class and she had a whole bunch of friends growing up and even now She feels you know part of the community and one of the things we joke with dia me and my wife is You know we we uh were from florida. We had been living in florida So we always joke with her like let's just go back to florida. We'll move back to florida and she says no you guys move I want to stay here. This is where you know this is where I grew up. This is where my friends are so What was that first winter like for her? So we came in 2011 and 2011 If i'm not uh mistake and that was one of the mildest winter So we kind of eased into it. Um, I I remember distinctly march 10th or march 12th and it was sunny. There was no snow on the ground And it was I think 50 or 60 degrees temperature. So, you know It was a it was a smooth transition to say the least for us to this week Well to you know to come in back from florida and getting into the winter 2011 And then of course 2012 2013, you know, there were some Not harsh, but there were some days where it was you know 20 below, but we we you know We're accustomed to it now now you're accustomed to how languages were taught in india Your wife and you went through a fairly similar experience. Although you were in completely different parts of a very large nation. Yes and mathematics science Of the standard curriculum. How does that differ from what your daughter was meeting at union? The same subjects in a sense it it is same. Yeah. Yeah same subjects in the sense One of the things that that I really liked Is is When we were growing up Let's you know take for example math Addition, you know our multiplication.  Yeah. Well, not just math, but why do you carry over one? Why do you do this? That's called new math is what it was called. Okay, okay So so why do you do that?  You know, nobody explained so we just Thought this is how it's done. We just We just did it which for um Smart kids when they grew up they themselves connect the dots and and get there but And i'm not saying, you know, they're not other people are not smart, you know I've heard the one expression that stuck to me. I think it's um, I don't know who it is But you can't judge a fish By looking how it climbs the tree, you know the fish fish is going to swim That's a so some people learn differently and others learn differently So so for some people it connects when they're in fourth grade fifth grade sixth grade Oh, yeah, this is why you carry over one and this is how you add it but But for others it doesn't make sense and then they start falling behind which in in the case of union and I think it's The u.s. Are new math that they they teach you different ways and they teach you, you know the the concept behind it And let you figure out how this is we're talking now about skills based learning Which is moving all throughout our system and that's the proficiency based graduation now In so far as skills the same skills can be used in different subjects. Yep Did you see that life skills? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely and learning skills learning skills and and you know wife calls them, you know Any skill it may not be pertaining to you know one particular subject But it's a it's a life skill that you can carry and and carry throughout your life And was that explained well to you as parents the kind of style of curriculum that union was Teaching teaching children that your child was included in were you well aware of of the overall thrust of that? I was I was and again, maybe maybe the We have the unfair advantage of my wife as being a professor And then you know, we talk about that and some things that she you know Her and I we talk together and she kind of explained it from her point of view And you know, so we have an open dialogue going on so but to answer your question Yes, we were we were well aware of the the the methodology being used and and how it would help and we were in sync with it As parents, did you feel like the school had good communication with you on a consistent basis? To a fault, I think yes, um, I mean, um, like and I I kid partially Every week they were, you know, right from the kindergarten the the teachers were emailing us and and and um, you know the Being in it one of the things that I dread is getting an email. I mean Information technology. Yes software is our, you know, we're always connected I'm always connected on my phone and whatnot. So anytime an email comes if multiple emails like, you know, I I I um You know you end up distracted. Yeah, I distracted or I feel like oh one more email to deal with but and that's why I cared You know to a fault but no the communication was amazing where we knew what was going on when what was happening and Um, we were getting updates regularly. We have kids at union who are low-income kids Uh, subsidized lunches food stamps and the like and there's an achievement gap Between those kids and the kids who are not low income And the school district this year has made it a goal to try and close that Consciously try and close that gap. You would be sitting on that school board Would you have any suggestions? whatsoever our thoughts on on how to close that gap that's been persistent for years in this community um I I don't think I can comment on that as right now because again, I don't know Uh getting into it. I'd like to know From all aspects what's being done where the the Deficiency is and trying to attack it from that angle. I think But it wouldn't be fair for me to to make a comment on that just here just as with you know my personal Work or business, you know, I wouldn't go in a meeting and start saying well, this is how you should do it My my job is to understand what's going on and then provide solutions Now on the elementary school level something that that you are adapted and adjoined at did you feel the it approach? Was what it could be or did you look at it? You know and say hey I I could see where this could be done differently it approach. What is uh computers in the classroom computer instruction You said they're using um emails to you know contact parents and the like Did you feel that that they had a real good grasp on contemporary it in an educational setting? um To an extent. Yes. I did think that one of the things that I you know, I did Think and I've been thinking about it is That we we all deal with it is security From the it perspective when I look at it security in what sense There's security for our kids away from where we don't want them on in it Yes, there's security of the data of the district in terms of confidentiality it's it's It's everything You know security that you talked about but also security in terms of your private data, you know, what what kids are learning when you have Let's say devices that that kids use You know, there is possibility that they're all their activities tracked or are you know, the data is gathered on them So so from that perspective Um security is important what is shared privacy is important and so One of the things that I'm interested to look at is how is that handled and and do we You know, do we need to do something about it or Are add some measures that that we are protected well protected against it There are some people who would say kids have too much computer access that there's too much time in front of that screen That's sitting and going to a calculator and figuring out something Is just a step too far down a road that doesn't lead to self-sufficiency beyond the screen Could you talk about that for elementary school kids? Absolutely and and and there is always going to be need to be a There's always going to you'll always need to maintain a balance You can't just put a screen in front of them and say go do it, you know and always have that One thing I liked about the elementary school, which I have experienced myself Is how the kids were Taken out of the classroom and go on nature walks or you know Go to the Hubbard Park and I've I've accompanied the kids, you know every couple weeks I would go with them and and with my daughter's class and and I enjoyed that experience. Yeah. Yeah, exactly And it wasn't you know, it was the fun learning And I that was a huge contrast. I was able to draw from my personal experience as a kid We never got to experience that so we get back to child-based learning Where the child innocent and and we'll get to this when we talk about the middle school because it's even more steered by the child herself or himself Kellogg Hubbard library. What's that like compared to a library in where you grew up? um I don't think I The the libraries that that we had um I'm trying to remember. I don't I don't think I've ever been I'd ever been to a public library in India The libraries I went to were Mostly really small You know very limited selection libraries, so I mean Hubbard Kellogg Hubbard is running overrun with Children. Yes, and and that's good. Yes. That's not that's not bad What was that like for you in terms? Well, you'd been in florida already So what was that like in florida to see the role of the public library? In child rearing. Um, and so when we were in florida, my daughter was just First couple years of our lives. She was you know, we were back in india and then We were in florida. She was about three in between three and five years. So we didn't Get to so it was up here is where the first real exactly your experience if that's what I was getting at Yes, the real interaction with the library and it was amazing. I mean dia took a few Um classes In library and there was I think the summer camps or something and where she got to play with the robots and and things like that And that was just just amazing to to be able to see that and provide her that opportunity The middle school How is the middle school experience for you different than the elementary school experience as a parent? um so different in terms of The child interaction my my with me and My daughter that has gone down a little bit Where i'm not as involved in what is going on and she's at a point of independence or is that concerned? That is no that is a point of independence where you know I I can see what she's doing and what she's learning But she wants to do all on her own and she doesn't want dad to come in and sit with her So there are things that she's you know the the resources that she's getting school is providing Different again going back to the it side of things where she's she has sites that she visits and and online education and things like that that are that Kind of go into the the proficiency based learning or the you know child Where you get to pick what you want you want to do and the teachers are encouraging in that and you know They're focusing on what dia wants to do for dia So that's that's that's impressive boy. This is a commercial for the school district What are the weaknesses of the school district that you perceive the relative weaknesses? um, I think they're trying to address those things, uh, but One of the things even you know right from From dia growing up from kindergarten is the behavioral issues That are going on and I think they're trying to address it But I we have experienced it ourselves where dia was getting affected by Those things and how do you deal with that? That's always always a continuing issue for seemingly forever forever. Exactly exactly but that I mean that's that they're the The way they you know you address these things can change depending on what level of Disturbances is a wrong word to use but you know what issues you're facing In that grade or in in in that climate In the high school Do you have any contact whatsoever with montpellier high school? I do actually I have a so we're hosting a german exchange student this year and she goes to the High school. She's a junior So this was a this was a new thing for us and we got a preview exactly we got a we got a preview Of how it would be and so it's been a it's been a very nice experience. Um, I remember and it's When she came in dafney her name is She came in she had to go meet with the the guidance counselor and in fact Uh All of us including dia we all went with dafney and the guidance counselor was amazing You know, they focused on her but dia had some questions and they you know, he he Answered all her questions as well. So the next year dia will dia will be in uh in high school next year Boy, doesn't that make you feel old? It sure does In terms of high school, uh, do you feel? I mean you're responsible for dafney while she's here. Do you feel that you're getting the feedback that you need? She dafney is an exceptional student. Um, and she came here on a scholarship. So Getting you know going into we kind of knew that she's going to be a good student And so the feedback is fully fluent in english. She is she she speaks very well english. Um, and um, so so The first parent teacher meetings we had it was About you know, how great dafney is so that's what we got to hear. So we knew getting in The feedback from dafney has been great. I was just about to say did she feel welcome. Yeah, so she felt Really welcome. In fact before before I got here today. Um She came back from school and she was on her phone and I just you know, I was there And I I asked her what's going on? What what are you doing? And she's like, oh look at this and she showed me a whole bunch of kids on her snap jar or something like that And she said these are all my high school friends. So, you know, she's Simulated and it's a small town. Yeah, it's a small town and again going back to everybody's welcoming And you know, they're they're making you part of they're making you feel like part of community I've often said that When our son was he came to the district in second grade That in third grade his prom date was going to be somewhere in that third grade class And um, we're wrong. Uh, she was in a fourth grade class No, it's a small town. There aren't that many people And there aren't that many students What is the future of our district as a tiny is it sustainable? Um, I think the education that's that the kids are getting again It's from my perspective from my my kid dia and to a smaller extent Daphne whatever what I'm hearing Um, but from that perspective the the education that kids are getting is is a quality education dia last year went to they have a uh, a small camp a weekend camp at mit that you can go um and take some classes And she you know, she was comfortable doing that. So even coming from a small town and Um as a seventh grader you're roaming mit campus. It's a huge campus And there are no parents to walk you there So we basically have to drop her off for two days and then she goes to her classes and whatnot She's confident. And so that confidence comes from you know, not not from us or not just from us She spends most of her day in school. So that's where she's getting that from So, you know the education and then the the the interaction social skills. I mean that's that's what school's providing it Parents you said you volunteered Uh, were there other parents volunteered? They were absolutely. Yes That's something that that's noteworthy in our district are the number of parents who step forward to volunteer in the schools Uh, are you familiar with community-based learning? That's matt mclean's program in the high school I I am a little bit but not not it's where the students shadow in businesses in order to See what the outside world looks like and in that case matt has a number of businesses that step forward for our schools I consider that a strength And i'm sure you do as well. Absolutely. Absolutely one other I mean the The thing that I heard about it. I didn't hear about the businesses But the thing that I heard about was um in from high school Some kids go to the To the capital right and and that I thought that was actually it's the middle school Are you talking about the pages? I don't know what what the the program is called Well in eighth grade they're kids who are in a competition with other kids to become Pages and they're working in the legislature and they're paid to do that and they basically um It's it's an honor for eighth graders But yeah other people are doing you're right other high school students Are doing internships in state government. Yeah, uh, which is a great opportunity. I thought that I thought as well Our school has advanced placement courses But again, is all this sustainable in a town of 7500? That's a great question And that's always that the the balancing act that you have to do and figure out You know how much You can you can do in a small town But so far from my perspective as as I mentioned We seem to be doing the right things for our kids where you know, you're giving them the opportunities As far as sustainability That's the other side of it. Can you you know with the 7500 7900 people strength? Can you keep providing these things and not have it? Affect the the other side of it I'll bet you don't have an opinion on this if you don't say so um msn this I'm up here. You're uh the middle school main street middle school The physical facility Do you are you keeping up on those talks? um Not as much as I I should have To be honest not as much as you will if you're on the when you're on the board Okay, um, I don't um Yeah, yeah, as I said, I I I'm not well versed with it to to have a to have a strong opinion about it yet With an engineering background I'm sure that you'll have as I speak for you I'm sure that you'll have an interest in the $500,000 that we Put aside every year that we tax ourselves in order to keep the facilities up so that we're not buying A roof every 10 years or something on that level Would you engage yourself on the board in That $500,000 and how the administration can best spend $500,000 in maintenance? um as a Since I will be on the board or I'm you will be yeah, yeah um, I think it is my obligation to look at these things. Um, so I I Wouldn't want to just join the board and step away from just because it's a hard conversation to have But but my question is the opposite from given your background and experience Would you jump in more aggressively and say, you know, I have prior experience in engineering To to a degree, I think the engineering experience would help but this um if I'm if I'm Incorrect correct me if I'm wrong, but It's not the question of you know, should it cost this much or or what not is should we be spending this Or is this a priority? I mean we have $500,000 to spend we have a list of Things that we could do it's up to the board. Well, it's up to the administration make recommendations But ultimately it's up to the board to decide priorities priorities. Yeah um, so again, I was trying to I guess maybe um I hone in on the wrong aspect of your question, but I was thinking well as an engineer That's not the the background that's gonna that's gonna help solve the Or help me get into the things because from the engineering perspective. Okay. Well, you're gonna You know, you have a facility that needs repairing then you spend that money But can that money be spent something on something else? That's that's the the balancing act will have to do Yeah, yeah, which is which is you know as an engineer coming from it If you're just looking at that then you'll say yeah, this is what money needs to be spent but from the different angle as a as a parent as a as a consumer of Of the school system you'll need to look at other things as well And then determine the priority whether this is something that you want to do or not When michelle asked you about running and did she explain how many hours a week she was putting into this? That that was one of my first questions So I asked her point blank. What's the time commitment because I I don't want to say yes to something I can't commit to right Um, so and she was honest about what How much time commitment there would be I also met with jim and jim murphy the school board president. Yep. Yep. I had Um, him and brujette Should say I'm the school board's meeting vice vice president, right? So I met with both of them. Um, and one of the question was you know What's the real time commitment to this and all of them were forthright and and honest about it and What I've heard It it sounds like I should be able to I should be able to meet the commitments I Wish I wish you good luck as you said you are on the school board everyone who's running this in this term is on the school board And I want to thank you for coming and speaking with us. It was my pleasure. Thank you so much for inviting me Thank you for coming And thank you for watching and I hope that all of you will watch the other episodes of this because they're all good There's great candidates really good discussions Including the budget discussion from bill frazer and from liby. Those are good discussions as well and um Most importantly get out and vote on town meeting day I realize that everyone who's running from the school board will be elected And will be elected the two incumbents will be elected But just weighing in in and of itself is an important message of civic engagement Thank you so very much for watching you


It's time for the Lawn Jean Chronoscope a television journal of the important issues of the hour brought to you every Monday Wednesday and Friday a presentation of the Lawn Jean Wettner watch company maker of Lawn Jean the world's most honored watch and Wettner distinguished companion to the world honored Lawn Jean Good evening. This is Frank Knight may I introduce our co-editors for this edition of the Lawn Jean Chronoscope? They are CBS news correspondence Larry Lassur and Winston Burdette our distinguished guest for this evening is the right Reverend G. Bromley oxenham bishop of the Methodist Church There's some 21 million Christians in the world who call themselves Methodists It is in fact the world's largest Protestant Church and our guest tonight is one of its most articulate leaders And we're happy to have him here at this season Bishop oxen do you think it can be said that there is a genuine Resurgence of religion in this country. Well, mr. Lassur. That's a difficult question personally. I believe there is I think it's evidence for instance in the statistics regarding church membership There are many people who do not realize that membership was quite low in revolutionary days I mean the American Revolution There are only about five percent of the people belong to the churches back in the days of the American Revolution in 1850 16 percent in 1936 percent in 1950 57 percent now 60 now if church membership means anything I take it that there is evidence here of research The primary matter for us to have in mind however is that we don't determine religious significance by numbers We deal with religious significance in terms of quality and I'd like to have you check on that on your own Bishop oxen we've heard a good deal these days about the prospects for unity among the many sects and churches of this country How do you estimate the chances for unity today? Well, you use the term unity There is unity at the moment for instance 33 of the great denominations of the United States representing a membership of 35 millions are Together in cooperation in the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States That is unity now, perhaps you had in mind organic union if we are going to have union That is not separate denominations cooperating at the national level or at the world level as we have in the world council of churches I think one of the principles we've got to insist upon is diversity in unity in a word we've got to conserve all the values of the many different searches for the eternal and We are learning to work and worship and witness together. It's extraordinary what is going on I haven't time at the moment to go into that in detail But I think we're going to take our steps first by uniting the great families by that I mean there were three major Methodist groups in the United States We united them in 1939 to form the United the Methodist Church and similarly other unions have occurred when we get these families together Then I think somebody's going to bridge the gulf maybe the Methodist Church in the Episcopal Church for instance Our Episcopalian friends will not think that I'm holding them to this at the moment But there's good reason for that and after we've broken down these barriers that separate the different families Maybe someday the Protestants and the great Orthodox churches will consider the wisdom of being together and personally I hope the day will come when all of us will be Christian enough Roman Catholic Orthodox Protestant to kneel at a common altar and ask God to forgive us for our divisions and Giant hands there's good reason to be together and today when our faith is challenged Bishop oxham speaking of unity Do you think that the churches of this country are doing enough to play a progressive role in the integration of our races in this country the white and colored races Sir you know how to ask embarrassing questions nice This is one place where I find it difficult to answer personally I don't like to have The churches taught their Christianity by the Brooklyn Dodgers We should have been teaching our Christianity not in terms of talking about our father who art in heaven and therefore we're brothers But in concrete application of that principle I think branch Ricky in bringing Jackie Robinson in did more concretely than much of what we have been doing now There's a tremendous amount going on that I haven't time to recount and I'm proud of that But I sincerely trust the church will not be the last institution to move in to the real expression of its faith and Do away with segregation in every form at the moment We're all on record as opposed to segregation in fact those are the statements But when it comes to the actual practice of it I'm afraid Mr. Lissor that we're yet remiss Although we are making progress that I'd be proud to recite if there were time Well Bishop oxen is that how do you feel about this new and simple approach to religion of reassurance of positive thinking? Well, of course, there's value in positive thinking there's value I suppose in any faith that enables a man to move out in Strength toward the future But I think there's danger here that we may identify Christianity with the cult of success and Assume that because a man is a Christian therefore he must be successful let us say in monetary terms or in terms of the Occupation he happens to hold this seems to be an assumption if you just think positively you're going to be present with the company tomorrow morning Well, they just aren't enough openings along that line And I mustn't forget the fact that Christianity is a religion grounded in love that at its heart is the symbol of the cross But we move out in terms of sacrifice the people are transformed as we spend our lives for others and While that isn't denied in positive thinking there's a certain Emphasis here that I think needs to be watched very very carefully Bishop oxen on another subject I'd like to ask you what is the official attitude of the Protestant churches on the subject of the atomic bomb? Well, there is no official attitude of Protestant churches Upon any subject because one of the traditions of the whole Protestant movement is the right of private judgment We believe that the individual must be free to make up his own mind now having said that official action has been taken by Democratic bodies representing Certain of the Protestant churches the world council of churches itself, which is a body now of 167 churches representing a membership of perhaps 200 millions Representing perhaps most of the non-Roman Christian world there are notable exceptions to that this body has taken action Recognizing the situation that you're now face In world affairs, but nevertheless seeing in the hydrogen bomb a Fundamental moral challenge that has to be faced and has taken the position first of all that we will not use it Ourselves in any aggressive way that if we are attacked by those who use the atomic bomb We will work through the United Nations in terms of what he's now called collective security And I realized there's something of a problem there Generally the churches are of the opinion that we now have a weapon that enables us Well, I don't like that word enabled that moves toward murder and eventual suicide And that something morally wrong in the use of a weapon that really destroys Humanity when God created the earth the the story was that man was to have dominion over the earth and subdue it He wasn't supposed to destroy it. There's something here that cuts across a fundamental purpose We're opposed to the use of these tremendous weapons that we recognize in the world in which we now live There may be times when if we faced attack by such weapons We might do the immoral thing from one point of view and perhaps the necessary thing from another to depend on speaking of the present-day challenges and The challenge of the superior numbers of communist manpower What are the objections of the Protestant Church to universal military training? Well, it's very difficult to answer that question in just a word There are certain basic objections and most of our churches are on record as opposed to compulsory universal military training Of course, there's a new reserve system now. Do you know that there is no difference really from the standpoint of the compulsory aspect of it There are a hundred thousand men who may volunteer but down underneath that the whole thing is based upon compulsion And that's the basic objection of the church We feel that somehow we are writing into American life upon a prominent basis a program of compulsory universal military training We're opposed to it from this point of view that I think it's significant We don't like to see our youth Brought to an authoritarian system in which you find the basic principle is absolute obedience Somehow that conditions a man in such a fashion that we think democracy is going to be jeopardized I mean when you think of the free man and the free society seeking the truth that frees the creative individual We feel educationally. There's something unsound here. There are many other reasons I don't know whether you want to go into the sir in this day and age Do you believe that we can afford not to have a permanent military reserve program? I didn't say that we were not to have a permanent military. I mean a military reserve program We have in selective service an emergency situation developed to meet an emergency Which ends when the emergency ends and that emergency may run for a long time I grant you our objection is the writing of this permanently Into the real life of the United States of America. That's what we're doing and we don't believe it's good national defense I believe in a strong national defense, but I don't believe it can be shown here that this is really good national defense You draw fast sums that could be much better used. I think for research for the development of a professional army Listen for proper weapons and the like I'm trying to summarize this too much, but it's Take for instance the Air Force. They're not calling for this nor is the Navy Nor is nor are the United States Marines as something here that we need to think about I don't think it's good national defense and it gives you a false sense of security when you get these large numbers of men You think you've got something. I don't think you can train a soldier in six months The Air Force needs four years, and I think we'd be much better off to have a highly trained professional army and Build your reserves out of a selective service system on the basis of an emergency, but that's all too brief I haven't stated the case. In other words, you feel that it would be establishing a tradition in this country Which you would not approve of I want to thank you very much Bishop Oxham for coming here tonight at this season when of course we all think of peace.

Hello, my name is Lugna and I'm an analogue designer facilitating the design workflow in my team. In particular, I'm in charge to build behavioral models for analogue mixed signals following a model-based design methodology. Then I perform the system validation through a co-simulation process. So the main challenge of my job is to develop a proper knowledge on each IP before starting the model design. But very often, the time available to start the IP can be very short. Moreover, different behavioral models could lead to different areas to be caught. And finally, I need to question my know-how whenever new opportunities would result in a more optimised design. The most important skill is being curious, because the modern approach is a complex field and one should be ready to study and implement new solutions for that particular task. The second one is to have good programming abilities, because it allows to have quick and efficient applications. And the last one, since we interact with international colleagues and customers, a good communication skill helps a lot. I believe that all ACP employees share the same goal, that is to produce a high-quality product and to guarantee customer satisfaction. I start my day by checking my minds and then we do daily meetings to go over what has been done and what still needs to do. And then I start working on my assigned tasks. And of course, each day comes with its new challenge. So what I really like about my job is the fact that my team gave me the opportunity to make four puzzles that can positively impact the project. And also, we get to challenge each other's ideas, and that of course helps us to grow and to learn. I like to say that when I'm in a city doing my job, there is no place I would rather be.


It's time now for Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons. Ladies and gentlemen, Aniston and Colonels present Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons. One of the most famous characters of American fiction and one of radio's most thrilling dramas. Tonight and every Thursday at the same time, the famous old investigator takes from his file and brings to us one of his most celebrated missing persons cases. Tonight's case is entitled, The Case of the Ruthless Murderers. People appreciate Aniston most when they want quick relief from sudden pain of headaches, neuritis or neuralgia.  So get Aniston and keep it handy. Aniston is like a doctor's prescription. That is, it contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven, active ingredients in easy to take tablet form. Many people have been first given Aniston tablets by their own physician or dentist. So for your own sake, let me urge you to try Aniston. For most effective relief, use only as directed. You can get Aniston, A-N-A-C-I-N at any drug counter. Now for Mr. Keen and The Case of the Ruthless Murderers. Our scene opens in the office which Mr. Keen, the famous investigator, shares with his friend and partner, Mike Clancy. At the moment Mr. Keen is in his private office, while Mike is at the outer office file case, unaware that trouble is about to make a sudden and unexpected appearance. Hmm, let's see now. Well, this is going file C. Yes, Mr. Can I stay where you are? Don't make a move or I'll shoot. You're still pretty fast on the drawer, Clancy. Fast enough to be one step ahead of you, Rod Marble. Turn around. I'm not carrying a gun.  What's the trouble, Mike? Take a look at who just came into the office, boss. Rod Marble, isn't it? That's right, Mr. Keen. I'm the man you helped send to jail for bank robbery five years ago. I got out this morning. Boss, do you remember the last thing this fella said at the trial when the judge asked him if he had anything to say? Yes, Mike. I remember very well. I said I'd kill you in cold blood, Mr. Keen, when I got out. But you can tell your partner here to put his gun away. I didn't come here to your office to start anything. He's not carrying a gun, Mr. Keen, but I wouldn't trust him anyway. All right, Mike. Let's hear what Rod Marble has to say. Mr. Keen, I'm sorry I made that threat against your life. Apologizing, is he? Now I'm sure he's got something up his sleeve. Five years in prison gives a man plenty of time to think and change his mind. I forgot my ideas about getting revenge and hitting back at you long ago. All right, Marble. If you didn't come here to get revenge, why did you come? I wanted to ask you one question, Mr. Keen. What question? Someone gave you the evidence that helped send me up. Someone squealed, one of my old gang. Who was it? I'm sorry. That's something I can't tell you. Look, Mr. Keen, give me his name and you'll never hear from me again. What's more, I'll give you every dollar I own if you'll tell me. Do you want to go back to prison, Marble? This time it might be the electric chair. I don't care. If I could just get my hands on the rat who squealed on me and sent me to the pen- You won't get that information from me, Marble. Okay. But I'm going to find out who he is if it's the last thing I do. There's a man who's looking for trouble, Mr. Keen. If I ever saw a fellow who was out for blood, he's it. If it's trouble he wants, Mike, I'm afraid he'll get it. And it may be more than Rod Marble bargain for. The car's parked on the corner, Mr. Keen. This way, sir. Special edition of the afternoon papers, Mike. I wonder what the extra is. I'd get a copy from that news boy, boss. Hey, traffic for Mr. Keen. Yeah, hey-ya, boy. Look at the headline, Mr. Keen. Prominent businessman found murdered. His name is Neil Justin. Neil Justin? Let me see that paper, Mike. He's some kind of a big manufacturer, isn't he, Mr. Keen? Yes. He was found with three bullets in his body and a phone booth downtown. There were no witnesses to the crime, the paper says. And it took place at about four this afternoon. That was just an hour ago. Rod Marble was in our office at three. He could have had time to leave, crack down Justin and murder him. Well, Mr. Keen, what would Marble have to do with a man like Neil Justin? Mike? Mr. Justin was the man who gave me the information five years ago that helped send Marble to jail. Saints' preservice. Then Marble must have murdered him. He must have come to our office to establish an alibi by saying that he was with us at the time of the murder. It's entirely possible. Mike, perhaps you better drop me off at the police headquarters. I think I'll have a talk with Lieutenant Hale. Okay, Mr. Keen. Well, looks as if someone made a mistake. Mistake, Mike? There's a woman sitting in our car, boss. So I notice. Excuse me, ma'am. Don't you have the wrong car? Are you Mr. Keen, sir? No, I'm Mike Clancy, his partner. Mr. Keen's right here. One of the elevator boys in your office building pointed your car out to me, Mr. Keen. My name is Rena Soffer. I just had to see you. Why didn't you come up to my office? I just didn't have an appointment, and I thought someone in your office might not let me see you. Mr. Keen, you've got to help me. They've arrested my husband, Tom, and he's innocent. Arrested him for what, Mrs. Soffer? The murder of Neil Justin. I know how you helped people, sir. Everybody's heard how kind you are and how fair. And Tom's innocent, he didn't kill Neil Justin. If your husband is innocent, I'm sure the police will give him every chance to prove it, Mrs. Soffer. You don't understand. Tom has a record, a criminal record. Now I remember his name, Mr. Keen. Tom Soffer's been under suspicion at police headquarters.  No, that's not true, Mr. Clancy. My husband's weak, I know. I've tried to keep him away from his bad companions, but he's not a murderer. He'll get a chance to prove that, Mrs. Soffer. Mr. Keen, please just go down to the jail and talk to Tom. That's all I ask. And if he doesn't convince you that he's innocent, I won't bother you again. Very well, Mrs. Soffer. There's a phone booth in that cigar store, Mike. We'll call to Lieutenant Hale and ask if we can see Tom and Soffer. Thank you, Mr. Keen. I'll never forget your kindness as long as I live. I'll go back now and tell Tom you're coming. All right. But I warn you, if your husband is guilty, I may have to help convict him. I'll take that chance then. Goodbye, Mr. Keen. Let's make that phone call to Police Headquarters, Mike. Right, boss. Well, here's an empty phone booth, Mr. Keen. I'll make the call, sir. You know, Mike, this case isn't as obvious as it appears. It may prove a lot more difficult to solve than we imagine. Hello? Police Headquarters? Lieutenant Hale, homicide squad, please. Lieutenant, Mike Clancy. I'm calling for Mr. Keen. We hear you've just picked up a man named Tom Soffer for the Justin murder. What? What's that, Lieutenant? Just a second. Mr. Keen. Yes, Mike. Tom Soffer broke away from his arrest in officer. He's loose. Well, let me talk to Lieutenant, Mike. Lieutenant Hale, it's Mr. Keen. I suppose you sent out a general alarm for Tom Soffer. Well, I suggest you send out another alarm for Rod Marble. That's right. Marble was just released from the State Penitentiary. Yes, I'll explain when I reach your office in 15 minutes. Goodbye, Lieutenant. I'm sure now it's beginning to look as if this fellow Soffer may be just as guilty as Marble, Mr. Keen. Well, they both didn't kill Neil Justin, Mike. There's always a chance that someone new may enter this case. In any event, I'm going to the Lieutenant's office and then home. Get in touch with me there if you learn anything new of importance. Keen, sir? Yes. I've been waiting for you here in front of your apartment for the past two hours. I'm Arthur Justin, Neil Justin's son. Oh, come in, Arthur. Please sit down. Thank you. Mr. Keen, you've read about my father's murder. I've come here to ask you to help solve the case. I'll be glad to help you, Arthur. I happen to be working on the case already. You are? Yes. A criminal named Rod Marble is involved in it. Have you ever heard his name mentioned? No, sir. But if you think he murdered Dad, you're wrong. What makes you so sure, Arthur? Because I think I know who the killer is, although I need some evidence. That's why I want your help, sir. Who is the suspect you have in mind? A man named Luke Homer. My father was very worried for weeks before his death. He said someone was shadowing him. Dad was in fear of his life. What did this man Homer have against your father? I don't know, Mr. Keen. And I never knew why Dad didn't go to the police either. But I did something about it. What did you do? I trailed Homer. I spotted him outside the house a few days before Dad's murder. And I followed him from then on. I found out his name and occupation. He's a mechanic. I can point him out to you, Mr. Keen, and you can do the rest. Where is he? He gets home from work about nine every night. And this is his address. If you meet me on this corner at five of nine this evening, sir, you'll be able to put a pair of handcuffs on my father's murderer. Well, we can certainly question this man, Luke Homer. Very well, Arthur. I'll meet you. Perhaps I ought to come alone, however, without my partner or the police. If Homer sees his house as being watched, he may not show up. All right, Mr. Keen. I'll see you on that street corner tonight at nine. And we'll proceed from there. Arthur, is that you? It's Mr. Keen. Over here. Is that you up? Over here, Arthur. I heard two shots. Are you hurt, sir? Let me help you. We'll return to Mr. Keen and the case of the ruthless murderers. Meanwhile, beware of unpleasing breath that breathes between the teeth. Use colonos toothpaste with dental floss action. Those cracks and crevices where food particles can decay must be reached to have a really clean mouth. A welcome breath.

Mr. Keen, the great investigator and his partner Mike Clancy, have been investigating the murder of Neil Justin, a well-known businessman. Although Mr. Keen already has two suspects, Rod Marble and Tom Soffer, both men with criminal records, Neil Justin's son Arthur has come to Mr. Keen accusing still a third, a man named Luke Homer. Arthur Justin has told Mr. Keen where Homer lives and made an appointment with a famous investigator to meet nearby at nine in the evening. Now, as Mr. Keen keeps his appointment and waits for Arthur Justin, he's suddenly ambushed. Mr. Keen! Mr. Keen, where are you? Over here, Arthur. I hurt two shots. Are you hurt, sir? Let me help you. It was only a miracle that saved me. Some instinct made me drop to the pavement just before he fired. Did you see who he was? Oh, no, I'm afraid I could never identify him. Please forgive me. It was my fault. If I hadn't been a few minutes late for our appointment, I would have... It doesn't matter, Arthur. It's quite possible if you had been here, you'd have been killed yourself. Mr. Keen, the man who tried to kill you was the murderer of my father. It was Luke Homer. It must have been. Well, there's no point waiting around here any longer. He'll never come back. I'm going to return to my office, Arthur. At this hour of night, Mr. Keen? I have a complete file of every known criminal in the country. Perhaps I'll find Luke Homer's name in it. We've sent out a general alarm for two other suspects involved in your father's murder. Rod Marble and Tom Soffer. Now we'll add this man, Luke Homer, to the list. Well, there's nothing in the file here about a man named Luke Homer, Mr. Keen. Just about gone through the list. What time is it, Mike? It's almost midnight, sir. He just had an idea. It seems to me... It's Rod Marble, boss. No more, Mike. He's armed. I've got six bullets on his gun, Keen, for you and your partner. I know he was lying, boss. That story about having to change a heart was full. I wasn't lying. I meant every word I said. Keen's the one who changed my mind. And how did I do that, Marble? By telling the police to send out an alarm for me for Justin's murder. You're trying to frame me, Keen, and I'm going to put you away just as I promised I would five years ago. Watch out, boss! And he's out cold, sir. And I'll relieve him of that gun. That's nice work, Mike. If you hadn't timed that blow so well, we'd both have a few bullets in our heads. Well, I'll bring him around and then lug him down to police headquarters. The boys will be glad to see this buck, oh, Mr. Keen. Undoubtedly. But I'm not so sure he's the man they want for Neil Justin's murder. After all this? And after what you told me about being ambushed? That's just it. Mike, I think I have an important clue to follow up. A clue that may prove to be an amazing revelation. Take Rod Marble to headquarters, then get a good night's sleep. We'll both need all our energy when we return to this affair tomorrow morning. Yes, you can reach me here in my office, Lieutenant Hale. I'm still working with Neil Justin's son Arthur on the Luke Homer angle. But so far, Homer seems to have completely disappeared. However, I have an idea of my own that I've been working on for the past two days. Yes, of course, Lieutenant. I'll keep in touch with you. Goodbye, Arthur. Has there been anything new, sir? Any clues to my father's murder? No, nothing yet. Oh, I want you to meet my wife, Alicia, sir. Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Justin? I'm very glad to know you. I've heard so much about Mr. Keen, the famous investigator. And I'd like to help you in any way I can, sir. Arthur's father meant almost as much to me as he did to my husband. I think I understand, Mrs. Justin. Alicia's worried, Mr. Keen. She thinks they'll try to get at me in some way. Oh, no, that's not where... What were you about to say, Mrs. Justin? Oh, Mr. Keen, I want to speak to you alone. Alicia, what's the trouble? Are you hiding something from me? Oh, Arthur, I beg you to trust me and do as I say. I can't keep this to myself any longer. I want to see Mr. Keen in private.  I'll do as you ask. I'll be waiting in the car downstairs. Well, Mrs. Justin, what is it you want to tell me? Mr. Keen, I just couldn't bring myself to say this in front of Arthur. It'd tear down all his ideals. But I believe I know who murdered his father. Do you? Neil Justin was involved with a woman named Sarah Blows. He'd known her ever since his wife died, and before as well. I see. I believe he tried to break off with Sarah, and she took revenge. She's a violent type, Mr. Keen. I know, because I've met her. Do you know where the Sarah Blows can be located? Yes. What do you intend to do, Mr. Keen? See her, of course, immediately. What you say is true. I'll break this case wide open, Mrs. Justin, inside of an hour. Are you Sarah Blows? That's right. My name is Keen. Mr. Keen, the famous investigator. I'd like to talk to you about a man named Neil Justin, who was murdered a few days ago. Neil, please come in, Mr. Keen. Step into the living room, and we can talk. A couple of friends of mine are anxious to join the conversation. What?  What is this? A trap? So this is a guy who's supposed to be the biggest investigator of them all. Take a look at him, Pete. I'm looking, Tracy. You don't look smart enough to trail a giraffe.  Get rid of him and get it over with. Okay, take it easy, sir. Pete. Yeah? We better tie him up in the garage. It's way in the back. We stay here. Somebody on the street might hear us. Get moving, Keen. Somebody might hear you do what? Put a bullet behind your rear, Keen. Keen is tied up good and tight, Tracy. Want me to plug him now? Take it easy, Pete. I'm enjoying this. It ain't often we get a fish as big as Keen to fry. I suppose you two know what the penalty for murder is. The electric chair. Listen to him talk, Tracy. You're the one who's getting the debt sentence, Keen. Only we're doing the job with a gun.  He's talking too much to suit me, Tracy. Let's get started. Let him talk. His mouth ain't gonna be much good for talking in a couple of minutes. Pull that box out and put Keen in it. No, no, no. Wait. You know what this box is for, Keen? You. You want to load a quick line. We're gonna freeze you in solid, then drop you in the river. No, no, please. Have mercy. I'm an old man, but I don't want to die. Listen to him crawl. Yes, they all crawl when their numbers up. I'm not asking you to spare my life, but at least give me my choice. What's he talking about? What choice, Keen? I always feared this day. The day when I'd be cornered and helpless.  So what? I've carried it to make it easy. When I knew there was no other way out to spare myself torture, at least let me take the poison. Holy smoke, he wants to make it easier for us. It'll make it easier for both of us. I'll have no pain. You can get away with this crime. I don't get it.  The police will obviously think I was a suicide. It's a lot safer, Tracy, than having my body discovered full of bullet holes. Because the police would never rest until they caught you. What do you think, Tracy? I'm not sure, Pete. What do we got to lose if the old guy's nuts enough to want to do the job on himself? Let him. Okay, we'll give Keen a break. Thank you. The poison is in a small bottle in my vest pocket.   Just open the bottle and let me drink the poison. Here's a bottle, Tracy. Open it. Stay, Gaston! The bottle's still with him. I can't see. I'm fine, Tracy. The door! Where's the door? Open your hands up and no funny things. Mike! Mr. Keen boss, are you all right, sir? Here, I'll carry you out. Just hang on. I got your message just in time, sir. That's good work, Mike. There's a squad of plainclothesmen outside, sir. We got the others too. Here's the door, boss. Easy now. I'm all right. Let me cut them ropes, Mr. Keen. Oh, thank you, Mike. That invention of mine, they condensed followed tear gas saved my life. I had to put on quite an act to get them to open it. When they did, the results were perfect. I'm sure that was one of the slickest inventions I've ever seen, boss. Tear gas condensed in a tiny bottle. Everything okay in there, Clancy? Everything's under control, Casey. Send in the other two. They're putting Sarah blows and them two murderers into the patrol wagon, boss. But here are two more I know you're looking forward to seeing. I put the handcuffs on them 15 minutes ago and brought them here. Well, Arthur and Alicia, what have you got to say for yourselves? All I've got to say, Keen, is that if I didn't have these handcuffs on... Oh, take your medicine like a man, Arthur. Keen was too smart for you.  Did you? There was no such man as Luke Homer. You made up the name. Just to lure me into an ambush. And the boss saw right through that Sarah blows story, and tipped off the police.  You and your wife were responsible for the murder of your father, Arthur. It was a horrible crime. Maybe I can tell you why they killed him, Mr. Keen. It's Rod Marble. Yes, the man who was a member of your room ring of criminals five years ago before he was sent to prison. I didn't know it before, Mr. Keen, but you saved my life when you had me picked up on suspicion. Arthur Justin here was planning to put me all the way along with you. You squiller! Keep your trap shut, Marble. Why shouldn't I squill? Didn't your father squill on me to save his own skin so I had to take a five-year rep? That's right, Marble. And the time kneeled Justin through squirt. We believed he was a respectable business man instead of a gang leader. I'm willing to talk to you, Mr. Keen, if I get a break. You'll get justice, Alicia. No more, no less. Keep quiet, Alicia. Do you hear? I won't keep quiet. Mr. Keen, do you know why he killed his father? He wanted to take over the racket. His father wanted him out of it, but Arthur got big ideas. And who gave me those big ideas? You did, Alicia. What else have you two got to say? Mr. Keen, Arthur's father had warned him that Marble might talk and convict the gang. So Arthur decided the only way was to get rid of you and Marble after he shot his father. Well, that's just about clean things up, boss. I think I'd be taking these two lovebirds outside to the police. Mr. Keen, you certainly put one over on Tracy and Pete with that tear gas invention of yours.  No man ever has the right to take his own life, Marble. That's for God or the law. And as long as you're feeling so grateful to the boss, Marble, maybe there's one request I think he'd like to make. Mr. Keen would appreciate it if you said nothing about that trick bottle of tear gas. Yes, Mike. It might help me in the future. When I get into a spot like that again, if the invention would remain a secret. Mr. Keen, you can depend on me to keep it under my hat. All right. Mike will accompany Arthur and Alicia Justin and the others to police headquarters where we can write the finish to the murder of Neil Justin, a finish that will end in the death house. We're all concerned. And so Mr. Keen finds the solution to the case of the ruthless murderer. The next time you're suffering from the pains of headache, neuritis, or neuralgia, try anison.

Thank you, Bert and Felicia. I want to extend my heartiest welcome to everyone watching the 99th annual Tournament of Roses Parade. Looking back on 1987, Americans can feel a great deal of pride about a year filled with the promise of peace and freedom for our nation. We celebrated the bicentennial of our Constitution, and in doing so, renewed the national values and way of life it symbolizes. Here at home, as employment continued to rise, growth and opportunity increased and our national prosperity remained a strong force for good in the world. Internationally, we saw dramatic new steps for peace at the Washington Summit and all around the world, a march toward democratic government and personal freedom continued. And now, if you will, this President would like to introduce another, Harriman L. Crunk, who is President of the Tournament of Roses Parade. To everyone watching, Nancy and I wish you the happiest of years in 1988, and hope you'll join us in whispering a prayer of thanksgiving for the blessings of the past year. Good evening. This is Ronald Reagan, President of the United States. I'm speaking to you, the peoples of the Soviet Union, on the occasion of the new year. I know that in the Soviet Union, as it is all around the world, this is a season of hope and expectation, a time for family to gather, a time for prayer, a time to think about peace. That's true in America, too. At this time of year, Americans traveled across the country in their cars, by train or by airplane, to be together with their families. Many Americans, of course, came to the United States from other countries. And at this time of year, they look forward to hosting friends and family from their homelands. Most of us celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, and as part of those celebrations, we go to church or synagogue, then gather around the family dinner table. After giving thanks for our blessings, we share a traditional holiday meal of goose, turkey or roast beef and exchange gifts. On New Year's Eve, we gather again, and like you, we raise our glasses in a toast to the year to come, to our hopes for ourselves, for our families, and yes, for our nation and the world. This year, the future of the nation and the world is particularly on our minds. We are thinking of our nation because in the year ahead, we Americans will choose our next president. Every adult citizen has a role to play in the making of this decision. We will listen to what the candidates say, we will debate their views and our own, and in November, we will vote. I'll still be president next January, but soon after that, the man or woman leading our country will be the one the American people picked this coming November. As I said, we Americans will also be thinking about the future of the world this year, for the same reasons that you will be thinking of it too. In a few months, General Secretary Gorbachev and I hope to meet once again, this time in Moscow. Last month in Washington, we signed the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty in which we agreed to eliminate an entire class of U.S. and Soviet nuclear weapons. It was a history making step toward reducing the nuclear arms of both sides, but it was just a beginning. Now in Geneva, Soviet and American representatives are discussing a 50% reduction in strategic nuclear weapons. Perhaps we can have a treaty ready to sign by our meeting in spring. The world prays that we will. We on the American side are determined to try. You see, we have a vision of a world safe from the threat of nuclear war and indeed all war. Such a world would have far fewer missiles and other weapons. Today, both America and the Soviet Union have an opportunity to develop a defensive shield against ballistic missiles, a defensive shield that will threaten no one, for the sake of a safer peace, I am committed to pursuing the possibility that technology offers. The General Secretary and I also anticipate continuing our talks about other issues of deep concern to our peoples. For example, the expansion of contact between our peoples and more information flowing across our borders. Expanding contacts and information will require decisions about life at home that will have an impact on relations abroad. This is also true in the area of human rights. As you know, we Americans are concerned about human rights, including freedoms of speech, press, worship and travel. We will never forget that a wise man has said that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone. It is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. Silence is a form of falsehood. We will always speak out on behalf of human dignity. We Americans are also concerned, as I know you are, about senseless conflicts in a number of regions. In some instances, regimes backed by foreign military power are oppressing their own peoples, giving rise to popular resistance and the spread of fighting beyond their borders. Too many mothers, including Soviet mothers, have wept over the graves of their fallen sons. True peace means not only preventing a big war, but ending smaller ones as well. This is why we support efforts to find just negotiated solutions acceptable to the peoples who are suffering in regional wars. There is no such thing as inevitability in history. We can choose to make the world safer and freer if we have courage. But then courage is something neither of our peoples have ever lacked. We have been allies in a terrible war, a war in which the Soviet peoples gave the ages an enduring testament to courage. Let us consecrate this year to showing not courage for war, but courage for peace. We owe this to mankind. We owe it to our children and their children and generations to come. Happy New Year. Thank you and God bless you. Take that, Mr. Gorbachev.
