#25-34 Fearing it was losing the race for dominance of the passenger-ship industry while I was president, Great Britain commissioned the Cunard Line to build two gigantic liners, the Lusitania and the Mauritania. The Admiralty required Cunard to build the ships so that, in the event of war, they could be readily equipped with naval artillery and used as “armed auxiliary cruisers.”

#35-44 My First Lady started the “Just Say No” campaign against drug use. She traveled more than a quarter million miles in the U.S. and abroad to discuss prevention and to visit rehab centers. I pushed Congress to increase the sentences of those using drugs as well as those selling them. That led to a dramatic increase in the prison population that continues to this day.
