Sam:   Elise Boulding – who was she?

Kris:  I dunno. Not all of the people shaping history become famous.

Tim:   I think she was a voice for peace at a time when much of the world
       was at war.

Kris:  . . . she was some kind of peace activist, right?

Tim:   Yeah, her thoughts are relevant today because we need to cultivate 
       cultures of peace instead of societies that glorify war.

Ted:   Many men seem to think of war as if it were an exciting game.

Terri: Well, if you're military industrialist raking in billions of dollars 
       from blood, perhaps it is. However, if you are a refugee in a conflict 
       zone then your entire perspective would be different.
