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,
