Monroe was the fifth President of the United States, and he was the last President to be named as one of America’s Founding Fathers.

Bill Clinton, like most Americans, was raised in a working class family and had to diligently work and sacrifice to get the White House.

The author concedes the argument that each reconstruction of reality is only one possible interpretation offered by a member of a non-intended audience and it doesn’t confirm the existence of a utopian society but he strongly grasps to the fact that if the different reconstructions are put together the truth is more likely to be revealed.…
