One species
Sir, —George Blackett’s letter (“The Press,” June 30) challenges us to grow in mind and spirit to the world citizen idea, which is, of course, the essence of Christianity and other world religions. Our nuclear age presses home this truth in Adlai Stevenson’s lines: “We travel together, passengers on a fragile space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and the love we give our fragile craft.” Great minds down the ages have said all mankind is one people; now scientific advances press the truth home. No-one escapes this challenge to “think big.” —Yours, etc., N. BECK. June 30, 1977.
