When I was transferred to another post, my former colleagues in the Budget said that it was the end of the "Spring of Prague" and Secretary General U Thant welcomed me as his new assistant with these worlds: "I am sure you will be happier here than in the Budget."

Special mention must be made to C. V. Narasimhan, Constantin A. Stavropoulos, Bohdan Lewandowski, Bruce Turner, Brian E. Urquhart, Robert Muller, William Powell, and Yasushi Akashi." "A new quality of planetary imaginations demanded from all of us ... an open acceptance of belonging -- as in fact we all do -- to the human race as well as to our local community  ... the mark of the truly educated and imaginative person facing the twenty-first century is that they feel them self to be a planetary citizen. ... this concept of world citizenship ... building the future World Community."
