Full Steam
Ahead
Do you send your clean, hardly worn
business attire to the cleaners just
to get a decent pressing? Don’t waste
your money—or your time. Reliable
Corp., the leading manufacturer of
ironing and fabric care products and
supplies, has introduced the Digital
Velocity V95. Its traditional hand-iron
appearance—streamlined and handsome
as it is—disguises powerful features that
people in the business rely on to give
your clothes that professional look.
The secret is in the steam. Unlike
any other home iron on the market, the
Digital Velocity V95 has an internal com-
pact steam generator and two separate
heating elements, which means it can
produce more continuous dry steam, even
at low heat. That also means no scorch-
ing, water stains or repeated passes over
the same stubborn wrinkle. A downside?
You’ll never be able to slum it with light-
weight hotel irons again.
The Digital Velocity V95 ($150)
is available from dealers listed at
reliablecorporation.com.

1. “Solemn renunciation of violence (not
only with respect to
means of mass destruction) is undoubtedly necessary.”
2. “Now, on Friday
noon, I am to become
a private citizen. I am
proud to do so. I look
forward to it.”
3. “We know that the
basic proposition of
the worth and dignity
of man is not a sentimental aspiration
or a vain hope or a
piece of rhetoric.”
A. Dwight D.
Eisenhower

Speech Recognition
As the presidential election heats up, the TV and radio
waves will be buzzing with impassioned, important
speeches. Do you ever wonder which of today’s speeches will be replayed for schoolchildren decades from
now, à la “Ask not what your country can do for you”?
If you’re a sucker for a good speech, you’ll want to
add The Best of Vital Speeches of the Day: 25 Speeches
That Changed Our World to your DVD collection. The
DVD includes such pivotal moments in oratory as John
F. Kennedy’s address at his inauguration in 1961,
including the famous “ask not” line, as well as speeches from Golda Meir, Mao Tse-tung, Albert Einstein,
Winston Churchill and J. Edgar Hoover. The speeches,
spanning 70-plus years, were selected by Thomas Daly
IV, editor of Vital Speeches of the Day, a leading forum
for speechwriters and speechmakers. Daly selected
the 25 speeches from among 17,000 published in
Vital Speeches, based on their historical relevance,
the events that prompted them and the rhetoric
used in them.
The DVD includes the text of each speech and
analysis notes on the speech and the speaker. Selected
speeches, such as Ronald Reagan’s farewell address to
the nation, are available in audio and video. You can
buy the DVD ($34.95) at 25speeches.com.
