Peace Prize for peace women Let children play not fight
Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan, Northern Ireland peace activists, share the Nobel Peace Prize for 1976 for founding Peace People. Williams recalls a mission born after eight years of violence and a deadly car bombing that killed Catholic children. Corrigan, grieving aunt, joined to forge Protestant Catholic backing. Their work aimed to end sectarian slaughter and place children’s welfare above conflict.

Taylor and Zumwalt clash over Panama canal pact
Former Joint Chiefs chair Maxwell Taylor told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that attempting to spell out a U S right of military intervention in the Panama Canal treaty would kill the agreement and strain Latin American relations. He urged leaving the language as is, noting difficulty in agreeing with Panama on term meanings and outlining that the treaty assigns shared responsibility for canal neutrality after 2000.
