- There used to be a series of conferences involving scientists, writers, other
- academics, etc., trying to work for world peace. They were called the Pugwash
- Conferences, because the first (I think) was held in Pugwash (Nova Scotia).
- My memory is pretty hazy on this, as you can see. This was in the 60's.
-
- I presume this newsgroup was created for communication about this conference;
- that's why it's in alt.ORG .
-
- Evidently I'm the only person around old enough to remember this stuff :=(
-
- Does anyone have more recent information?
