TRIVIA WINNER

Quite a few of our readers knew J. Reuben Clark authored a 236-page memorandum on U.S. intervention in Latin America, known as the Clark Memorandum. The document discouraged military intervention in South America while still acknowledging the need for the U.S. to protect national security interests.
