Steve, I welcome your call for a panel conversation. I would be happy to
join such a panel and will bring all that I can to the conversation. While I
think a moderator could be useful it may not be
essential.
I was interested to
read the einstein-freud correspondence by the league of nations
through the international institute of intellectual co-operation in
1931..."warum krieg"
einstein's follow-up in 1945 to introduce
L. Szilard ( who would present a case for the potential use of uranium for
national defense) to President Roosevelt is of interest as well... recommended
by that Julia Sushmihi
recommended.
One of
the things that can be more easily seen perhaps by looking at this distance is
that the world is much more full of voices today. I can only conclude that many
more voices are and would be engaged in a decision of this magnitude today.
Concepts of ?the elite? and ?the masses? much more commonly used in that time
seem crude and cold concepts today, not good ways to look at human
beings.
As I mentioned before
the holiday break I often want to participate in the Friam conversations more
than I am able to. With a mountain of work on my plate after the holiday I will
contribute and stay in touch with threads when I can.
Best Wishes,
