Quotations

“Of course, we have been involved in efforts to stop particular wars, like the Vietnam War. . . but we have also felt that a more fundamental blow to the war system would be struck by creation of alternative international institutions for peacemaking. And we felt the Law of the Sea Treaty was the best chance to make sane real progress we had had in many years.” (Chuck Fager, “A Friendly Letter”, Jan. 1982; photo amazon.com)
