First sentence: As the twentieth century comes to its end, we can already be fairly certain that extensive passages in the histories which will be written about it will be devoted to its three World Wars, one hot and two cold; to the slump, the long boom, and the recession; to the proliferation of new states, the huge growth in population, the immense technological revolution, and, we must hope, to all the underdevelopment which has gone along with this.
