Google Makes Hostile Takeover Bid
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Google Inc. made a hostile takeover offer to Time Warner Inc. for the reported purchase price of $50 billion in cash and stocks. Yahoo Inc. is feeling very uneasy at this moment because of prior hopes of being bought-out by Google. Along with Yahoo, Microsoft Inc. is discontented by this offer after being beat to punch with the hostile takeover bid made by Google. CEO of Google, Dr. Eric Schmidt said, “Google strikes while the iron’s hot, and the iron’s hot right now in the media industry. This is the correct move at the correct time for Google.”

Practice News Story7: Speech Story

Gettysburg, Not in Vain
Gettysburg, Penn.--
Four and a half months after the Union armies defeated the Confederates, President Abraham Lincoln stood in front of over 1,500 people and invoked the principles of human equality talked about in the Declaration of Independence and how this Civil War has redefined it.
Referring to the events in the American Revolution, Lincoln said, “Four score and seven years ago…” as he then continued to describe the how this ceremony at Gettysburg was not just an opportunity to dedicate a cemetery, but also to consecrate the living in the struggle to ensure that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth".
This speech had an impact on many people on the hot and humid day. “…conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
