A sermon by the Rev. And the response came from an even dimmer and more distant past - the story of the Tower of Babel that we find in the 11 th chapter of Genesis.

Pepsi's problem was an inconvenience, but we know very well that other international misunderstandings can lead to disaster. For all its faults, an organization like the United Nations is vitally needed.
