Conundrums of Humanity poses eleven questions, ranging from Can we diminish War? to How far and fast can we push forward the frontiers of Human Rights? to Will China dominate the century? . The answers to these questions, the author believes, growing out of his long experience as a foreign correspondent and columnist for the International Herald Tribune, are largely positive ones, despite the hurdles yet to be overcome. They all depend for fruition, partly on building on the important work already accomplished, partly on creating a more benign and positive atmosphere in the world order and partly on demonstrating how the world can be even better in the future and thus giving the world’s peoples a sense of forward momentum.
