Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created equal"
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this ground -- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

1963 "Things Go Better With Coke"
Coca Cola Dates and Slogans, Coca Cola History and Collecting, February 6, 1999
I’d like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love
Grow apple trees, honey bees and snow-white turtle doves
I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I’d like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company
The New Seekers, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Coca Cola Jingle, 1971
It's the little things that make the difference...things go better with Coca Cola, things go better with Coke.

On November 16, 2000, Coca-Cola agreed to pay the highest amount in history to settle a racial-discrimination lawsuit. The total $192.5 million dollars will include compensation of about $40,000 apiece for former and current black employees.

In a normal election year, the second week of September would be a time for candidates and their campaigns to begin the final drive toward the November general elections. But this is not a normal year, as evidenced by the saturation Sept. 11-related programming being planned by broadcast and cable television networks leading up to the anniversary date. There will be broadcast time and attention for little else...Former attorney general Janet Reno, seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Florida, "will be taking September 11 as a day to commemorate the events of last year," said a campaign spokeswoman. Her chief rival for the nomination, lawyer Bill McBride, will attend a memorial service in his hometown of Tampa. "At most, there will be a photo op," said a McBride spokesman.

She was checking out with her groceries and a man in front of her ran out of money when paying for his groceries. He was $1.50 short. "Lisa" gave him the $1.50 and he thanked her. She then paid for her groceries and went out to her car. The man approached her to thank her again. He said that she was the first person to treat him kindly since Sept. 11. He had had things thrown at him, nasty words said to him, and run off the road because he is Middle Eastern. He said he wanted to repay her, and she said not to worry about it. He then told her that he will repay her by giving her some information she may find valuable: Do not drink Coca Cola products after Sept. 5, 2002. Then he ran off to his car.

The not-for-profit Ad Council, which produces public-service announcements (PSAs), expects the networks will air its "Freedom" ads on 11 September. Coca Cola has nixed ads, and McDonald's may, too. Television networks, as well as radio stations, donate air time to the Ad Council for its PSAs, so it has no way of knowing how much time it will get to air the series of ads, aimed at boosting American pride.
"We believe that these PSAs have the ability to comfort and inspire Americans as they reflect on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks," says Ad Council spokeswoman Susan Jacobsen...In response, she says, the ad agency that produced the ads, DeVito Verdi, is publishing a book of all the "wonderful" responses from Americans all over who were touched by the spot.

Mayor Giuliani and a group of his senior advisers are set to cash in on his immense popularity by starting a company in New York offering public affairs, crisis management and other business advice.
"I want to take on challenges that maybe I haven't had before in business... maybe there are more things I want to prove to myself," said Mayor Giuliani.
