Through the exercise of power and the pursuit of self-interest, a gap has developed between the United States and nations of the Third World. What is needed is to bring about a dialogue between us and you to bridge this gap in a peaceful and creative way and fulfill on a world scale some of your achievements in America. But the process of give-and-take between the Third World and the more advanced world is not a static process.

...eventually renounced Buddhism and became a professional painter in the metropolis of Yang-chou. His "Echo" is a definitive understatement: on the left, a mountain made of brushstrokes swirls up out through clouds (also defined by the texture of the stroke). A tremulous, finely-drawn bridge spans the silent gap between this huge statement and a smaller hill that echoes it. The echo is seen, heard and felt...
