Press Services Office of Public Ixc'crroation United Nations, K,Y. (FOR USE of INFORMATION MEDIA — NOT an OFFICIAL RECORD) UNITED NATIONS Press Services Office of Public Ixc'crroation United Nations, K,Y. (FOR USE OF INFORMATION MEDIA — NOT AN OFFICIAL RECORD) Press Release SG/SM/251 12 February 1965 BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON TEB SjgSMTION. p YIET~MM "I am greatly disturbed by recent events in South-East Asia, and particularly by the seriously deteriorating situation in Viet-Nam. My fear, frankly, is in regard to the dangerous possibilities of escalation, because such a situation, if it should cnce get out of control, would obviously pose the gravest threat to the peace of the world. "I have stated my views on this problem :n?ny times before. Only last year, when I was interviewed in Paris in July, I said thaL 'military methods have failed to find a solution of the South-East Asian problem for the last 10 years and I do not believe the same methods will bring about a peaceful settlement of the problem. I have always maintained that only political and diplomatic methods of negotiation and discussion may find a peaceful solution. I have suggested some time ago, that a return to the conference table might produce some results. That means, in effect, that a revival of the Geneva Conference may perhaps achieve some results. I am convinced of this because of the very critical situation in that area,' "I am conscious of course of my responsibilities under Article 99 of the Charter. I am also aware that there are many difficulties in the way of attempt- ing a United Nations solution to the problem, in view of its past history and the fact that some of the principal parties are not represented in the United Nations. Many world leaders who, I know, share this concern and anxiety have made other suggestions. At the present time it is not possible for me to say what would be the best means of discussing this serious situation in an atmosphere conducive to a positive solution; but I do feel very strongly that means must be found, and found urgently, within or outside the United Nations, of shifting the quest (more) - 2 - Press Release SG/SM/251 12 February 1965 for a solution away from the field of battle to the conference table. In this connexion I believe that arrangements could bo devised under which a dialogue could take place between the principal parties with a view, among others, to preparing the ground for wider and more formal discussions. "Meanwhile I would like to appeal most earnestly to all the parties concerned for the utmost restraint in both, deeds and words, and I would urge them to refrain from any new acts which may lead to an escalation of the present conflict and to the aggravation of a situation which is already very serious. "I make this appeal ondst earnestly in the interest of the peace and well-being of the people of Viet-Warn and of the world at large." * #** * CR.13 (4-59) ROUTING SLIP Comments for the record should not be written on this slip.

Let me now also offer the suggestion that it might be helpful if some time in May I should send a senior personal representative to discuss these and other matters informally with you. The object would not be formal negotiations, but a fully frank, informal exchange of views, arranged in such a way as to receive as little attention as possible. If this thought is appealing to you, please let me know your views on the most convenient time. In closing, I want again to send my warm personal wishes to you and all your family. These are difficult and dangerous times in which we live, and both you and I have grave responsibilities to our families and to all of mankind.

  • Yoni Rechter
    Yoni Rechter Teev Events Inc. 16501 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA 91436 Tel (818) 483-8818, Fax (818) 482-2708 www.teev.com Biography Composer, pianist, singer and arranger, Yoni Rechter has made a major contribution to Israeli music in a career spanning more than 40 years, and is considered among Israel’s most important musicians. In the dozens of songs that Yoni composed, he created a wide variety of styles, incorporating numerous influences, from Sixties pop (mostly Beatles) to Jazz, Israeli to classical, east and west, into a fascinating personal statement. Rechter always composes with originality, great sensitivity to text, and for the best performers. He is considered the mark of quality and integrity in Israeli music. Yoni’s music is sophisticated and ever unexpected, constantly shifts tones and beats, and his classical piano training is evident. Many of his compositions have become staples of Israeli music, and one has on several occasions been voted the most popular Israeli song of all times. Yoni has worked closely with many of Israel’s top artists, including Arik Einstein, Gidi Gov, and Yehudit Ravitz. Perhaps his two most well-known collaborations are the legendary Kaveret group (a.k.a. Poogy), and Hakeves Ha-16 (The 16th Sheep), released in 1978 and still Israel’s most-popular album of children’s songs. A sought-after musical director, producer and arranger, Yoni has worked on numerous musicals, films, dance and albums. Rechter has also written classical music, and the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra performed a concert dedicated to his songs and compositions. Hebrew University, Honoris causa Born in Tel Aviv, Yoni started playing piano at the age of 7, and decided to be a musician at age 12 when he discovered the Beatles.

  • Robert Kennedy Jr.'S 25 Truths on the Secret Negotiations Between Fidel
    Robert Kennedy Jr.’s 25 Truths on the Secret Negotiations between Fidel Castro and President Kennedy By Salim Lamrani Region: Latin America & Caribbean, USA Global Research, June 25, 2015 Theme: History Al Mayadeen More than half a century ago, Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy conducted secret negotiations aimed at normalizing relations between the United States and Cuba. Robert Kennedy Jr., nephew of the assassinated President, recounts these events and praises Obama’s policy of rapprochement, which is making his uncle’s “dream” a “reality(1)”.[1] 1. After the October 1962 missile crisis, a conflict that almost led to a nuclear disaster, and its resolution that included the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba and US missiles from Turkey, President John F. Kennedy decided to undertake a process of normalization of relations with Cuba. 2. During his trip to the Soviet Union in 1962, Fidel Castro spoke at length with Nikita Khrushchev about Kennedy. According to the former president’s nephew, “Castro returned to Cuba determined to find a path to reconciliation” with the United States. 3. In 1962, Kennedy commissioned James Donovan, a New York lawyer, and John Dolan, an advisor to Attorney General Robert Kennedy, to negotiate the release of the 1500 Bay of Pigs invaders held in Cuba. During his meeting with the Washington emissaries, Fidel Castro made clear his desire to normalize relations with the United States and maintain links based on sovereign equality, reciprocity and non-interference in internal affairs. “My father Robert and JFK were intensely curious about Castro and demanded detailed, highly personal, descriptions of the Cuban leader from both Donovan and Nolan.

Wir sind abgestumpft von den jahrzehntelangen Horrormeldungen über den Konflikt zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern. Dass im trendigen Tel Aviv, im historischen Jerusalem, in Haifa und einer ganzen Menge kleinerer Städte eine quirlige Musikszene blüht, bekommen wir allenfalls marginal mit, wenn einmal Namen wie Ofra Haza oder Noa aufs internationale Parkett treten. Immerhin sind Popstars wie Idan Raichel und Mosh Ben Ari oder der Songwriter David Broza auch bei uns keine gänzlich unbeschriebenen Blätter. Putumayo enthüllt um diese bekannteren Persönlichkei- ten herum nun weitere Gesichter. Da sind vielversprechende Newcomer genauso aufgeboten wie Tonkünstler mit Legendenstatus, verschrobene Eurovision Song Contest-Teilnehmer genau wie Experimentatoren zwischen den Kulturräumen. Und diese Vielfalt ist kein Konstrukt, sondern spiegelt nur den Staat Israel als Immigrantenland, eingebettet in eine flirrende Geographie am Kreuzungspunkt zwischen Europa, Afrika und Asien wider – mit jemenitischen, russischen, arabi- schen, asiatischen und äthiopischen Einflüssen.

    “Around the World in 18 Songs”: A Concert of Languages Elizabeth S. Rickel Senior Honors Project in Music The University of Akron July 24th, 2020 Around the World in 18 Songs An Honors Recital Elizabeth Rickel, soprano Jackson Carruthers, pianist A Note from the Vocalist At the beginning of my research, I began with a few Questions: What makes art and folk songs so important to their respective cultures? How are they similar to each other? How are they different? What is it about this kind of music that makes it so many, no matter the origin of the person or song? The motivation for this project is to shine light on some lesser-known folk songs, build upon my passion for music and language, and to illustrate the power of music, a universal language that we all understand, and in fact rather enjoy, and to illustrate the beauty when culture, language, and music are combined effectively. The goal at the end of my research was to have a full concert set that I can perform for any venue, particularly in schools, where I can talk to young musicians and broaden their horizons in the direction of world music. The songs for this concert were selected on the basis of various factors. Some of these songs were ones that I was already familiar with, either having heard them or performed them previously. Another factor was familiarity with the language, which ranged anywhere from speaking/performing in that language, a language with a similar root, and so on. That being said, I tried to go outside of my comfort zone and pick languages that I was not familiar with.
