President Carter's words are as relevant today as when first spoken. This first address of the Carl Vinson Memorial Lecture Series at Mercer University is a masterful assessment of the difficulties of resolving disputes. President Carter's guidelines for establishing a more stable peace in the world are concise and imaginative without sacrificing their essential practicality.

We need . . .bright thinking, unanticipated approaches, and unorthodox ideas to achieve the ancient goals of better justice and peace in the world. - President Jimmy Carter
