One more thing you might consider, when preparing for the UN 70th in SF:
The UN Charter was printed on the UC Berkeley printing press. The bronze plaque commemorating that fact is on the building on Oxford Street, but the building has been demolished and is being re-constructed as the Berkeley Art Museum. The plaque is in safekeeping with the architects. However, the architects have been advised by me that the historic importance of the site and of the plaque are suggested to be part of the opening ceremonies of the new museum. For UN 70th, may I offer the same suggestion? Rita
