The new US Secretary of State has spoken; Hillary Clinton has said that the US should use 'smart power' to help solve the world's problems. Finally, the American government might have a chance to be a force for good in the world.
Over a hundred years ago, Theodore Roosevelt used the phrase, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far". Perhaps, the new US regime are about to heed his wise words; too often in the recent past America has waved the big stick first before shouting at their enemies (and allies)!
Here are today's questions: -
- Who defeated the Washington Redskins today in 1973 to become the first NFL team to complete a season undefeated?
- Drummer Dave Grohl (right) was born today in 1969 and formed which band after the death of Kurt Cobain?
- Of all the cities in all the world, where did Franklin D Roosevelt and Winston Churchill meet today in 1943?
