Packet 6: Tossup 19

A speech by this leader opens with the worry that democracy will be the “insolvent phantom of tomorrow.” Malcolm Moos wrote speeches for this leader, (15[1])who invoked William (15[1])Jennings Bryan by describing “humanity hanging from a cross of iron” (-5[1])in his Chance (15[1])for Peace speech. Another speech by this leader warned against the “grave implications” of an (*) “acquisition of unwarranted influence” in (-5[1])the “councils (10[1])of government.” This president’s farewell address urged Americans to guard (10[1])against (10[1])the “military-industrial Complex.” For 10 points, name this general-turned President who wrote a speech inspiring the Allied Expeditionary Force on the morning of D-Day. ■END■ (10[2])
