Distribution
The White-beaked dolphin is endemic to the North Atlantic Ocean and is found in a band stretching across the ocean from Cape Cod, the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and southern Greenland in the west, around Iceland in the centre and across in the west from northern France to Svalbard; however, it is not as well adapted to Arctic conditions as the beluga or narwhal. The dolphin may easily be misidentified as the Atlantic white-sided dolphin, although the White-beaked is commonly found further north. The White-beaked dolphin is also typically larger, and does not have yellow streaks on its side.

“The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
