Inspired by Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth), the 1963 encyclical of the late Pope John XXIII, the conference brought together more than 1,500 philosophers, theologians, statesmen and diplomats of widely different backgrounds from all around the world.

Postmaster General John Gronouski got his 2,000 cards out early, remembered to zip-code each and every one. Georgia's Governor Carl Sanders, who had bucked voter opinion to back Johnson, discovered too late that the etching of the Governor's mansion had been tampered with-the name Goldwater was scratched in amongst branches of an overhanging tree...
