and Development
Washington, D. C.
September 25, 1972

gathering to say that we are participating in a great moment
in history.
I. Great moments in history are easy to perceive
headlines blaze, and the world is riveted to
television screens as world leaders meet.

(I) The action is slower, less dramatic
infinitely more complex, as changing
circumstances and the new needs of
people alter the behavior of nations.
