Quote:Yeah, I chose particular quotes that represent various important times in US history. If you research who said it, then it opens to a broader context for discussion. For example, the quote "I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say." was said by Nixon.
That was what I was going for. Not necessarily things that have a completely unambiguous meaning, but phrases that are emblematic of a single, politically relevant "thing" that would then become, in some sense, the real topic of the research.
