Fifty Years Ago Today: "He was our president, too."

50 years ago today, November 22, 1963, I was studying a junior year abroad at the University of Bordeaux. The events of that day and the following days have shaped my life ever since.

Revolutionary Evolution toward a Culture of Peace:Inside-Out, Bottom-Up, Topsy-Turvy

Earth quakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, uprisings of the oppressed, nuclear meltdowns, global economic and financial collapse.

How do we go about it and make it practical in our daily lives, no matter who we are or what we do?…See More
