(b) intercession (n): "the act of interceding"

intercede (vi): "to intervene between parties with a view to reconciling
differences : MEDIATE"

(c) The "call" in the sentence "They didn't call the invasion: is a
transitive verb defined as "to describe correctly in advance of or without
knowledge of the event : PREDICT"

Both definitions are from www.m-w.com.
(d) Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

(or Wilson Center; located in Washington, D.C.; established in 1968 as part
of the Smithsonian Institution; a nonpartisan institution engaged in the
study of national and world affairs")

United States Armed Forces and foreign military leaders; established in 1881)
(f) Graceland University is a private liberal university with main campus in
Lamoni, Iowa and the other in Independence, Missouri. Now nonsectarian, the
school was established as Graceland College in 1895 by the RLDS Church (now
the Community of Christ) at Lamoni. RLDS stands for "Reorganized Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."  "The name 'Graceland' was given by Col.
George Barrett, who surveyed the land for the college. He selected the name
because of the graceful slope of the hill upon which the college was built."
