About the Cover The cover is taken from Kinaiyahan Bulletin, an environmental magazine published by the Kinaiyahan Foundation, PO Box 175, 8000 Davao City, Philippines. While it is beautiful, it has nothing to do with the content of this issue. We wish this were not the case, and should any sympathetic artist care to provide us with either tailor-made or general nonviolence graphics, especially covers, we would be extremely grateful. Photo reproduction and printing by Jon Marshall of Marshall Arts, 24 Industrial Ave, Wacol. Editorial Collective We hope Nonviolence Today will promote nonviolence in a broad sense. It is strictly nonprofit and all editors donate their time and use of personal resources. The editors for this issue were Jan, Janelle, Jerry and David. We hope you will continue to support our efforts to promote the understanding and practice of nonviolence. "When whole societies do battle with their repressive governments nonviolently, and win, it would seem that we are coming very close to the day when nation-states (if they still exist) will also be able to defend themselves against each other nonviolently, instead of going to war."
