| Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living | In what university on Earth is one taught to dream, to be an idealist, a miracle-maker, a visionary, a prophet of a peaceful, perfect world? The University for Peace created by the United Nations in demilitarized, dreaming Costa Rica should become one. * | My Testament to the UN -A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Appendix 1, Highlihgts of the United Nations | 1961: Acknowledging that economic and social development in the poorer countries is basic to the achievement of international peace and security, the General Assembly declares the 1960's the UN Development Decade.

A few months ago, the pastor of a Kansas City church told people in his congregation he wanted them to test their limits. "The one thing we can agree on," said Rev.

People who joined in were issued purple bracelets as a reminder of their pledge. If they caught themselves complaining, they were supposed to take off the bracelet, switch it to the opposite wrist and start counting the days from scratch. Rev. Bowen said it took him three and a half months to put together 21 complaint-free days. Now, about a half a million people around the world have requested free wristbands to rise to the challenge.
