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 Jennings Bryan by describing “humanity hanging from a cross of iron” in his Chance for Peace speech. (-5[1])Another speech by this leader warned against the “grave implications” of an (*) “acquisition of unwarranted influence” in the “councils of government.” This president’s farewell address (-5[1])urged Americans to guard against 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])
