There is a great joke being played on a couple of thousand people who work out at Lake Success these days, but most of them don't think it's so funny. These people are the permanent staff members of the United Nations-the hired hands who had always thought, until recently, that they were working for an organization which was working, in its turn, to promote and encourage respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion. The important thing about this joke is not so much what it will do to injure the respect these 2,500 people have for themselves, for their employer, for the tribal customs of the nation in which their employer has set up shop and for the ability of mankind to carry out its professed and cleanly stated aims. |
