Bertrand Russell Record Statement to 1957 Conf in Pugwash and link to Anne Eaton's letter to her father describing the first Pugwash Conference participants.
  The  two  documents  that  follow-published  here  for  the first  time-combine  in  rare  fashion  historical significance and  human  interest. The first,  a statement by  Bertrand  Russell,  is  transcribed from  a  tape  prepared  by  him  for  the first Pugwash Conference  on  Science  and World  Affairs,  held in  Pugwash,  Nova  Scotia, July  7-10,  1957.  In this  message, Russell,  whose  age  and  frail health  prevented  him  from  undertaking  the  journey  to  Pugwash,  outlined  to  the  conferees  the  background  of  the manifesto, issued  by  him,  Einstein  and nine other  world-renowned  scientists,  which  had led  to  the Pugwash  meeting.  He also  sets  forth,  with  the  clarity  and wit typical  of  Russell,  his  hopes  and expectations  for  their work  and  for  what  was  eventually  to  become  known  as  the Pugwash  Movement. 

            The second  is  a  very  different sort  of  statement-a  human,  witty  and  wise view of  that  first Pugwash Conference  and  its  participants  through  the  eyes  of  its  gracious  hostess, Mrs.  Cyrus  S.  Eaton.  In a  letter to her father  (Judge Walter  T. Kinder of  Cleveland),  Anne Eaton  succeeds  in capturing  both  the  reality  and  the  spirit  of  that  unique occasion  with  a  rare  combination  of  photographic  precision and  artistic  imagination.  The  letter  will  be  included in  herforthcoming  book,  lrnperialist  Circles  and  Red  Squares.              We  are  grateful  to  Mrs.  Eaton  for  making  these  two  documents  available  to  the  Bulletin.-B.T.F.  Access under Anne Eaton.
