The Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Joseph Bemardin, a leading critic of the nuclear arms race, has been named as the winner of the Albert Einstein International Peace Prize. He will receive the award, worth SUSSO,OOO ($NZ76,500), in Washington on November 8. Norman Cousins, head of the foundation’s selection board, said that Cardinal Bemardin had been chosen for the role he played as the chairman of the Bishops Conference that drafted the pastoral letter, the “Challenge of Peace: God’s Promise and our Response,” in May. It attacked the arms race as one of the greatest curses on the human race and urged immediate, bilateral and verifiable agreements to halt the testing, production and deployment of nuclear weapons. — Washington.
