The Kennedy Treasure

John F. Kennedy's Lost Pathway to Peace

This historic documentary aired on TBS and KCET, the Los Angeles PBS affiliate, on May 29, 1987, the 70th anniversary of JFK's birth. Robert Vaughn narrated this testament to the vision and courage of a president who made heroic proposals to control nuclear weapons and curb environmental deterioration.

John F. Kennedy: Spokesman for the New Century

This documentary is a revision and update of the television special titled, 'John F. Kennedy's Lost Pathway to Peace," The newer program focuses more completely on JFK's proposal for a worldwide program of conservation.

It has been a life-long disappointment that my best work never received much public acceptance. As an administrator at Santa Barbara City College I programmed many high quality speakers for public lectures. The speakers who were eminently qualified (some had appeared on the cover of Time) invariably drew limited audiences. Speakers of lower caliber, with topics such as UFOs, would invariably fill the largest auditorium in the city. And so it has been with my books.

While none of my publications have been popular, they may be found in prestigious places: For example, my first book on President John F. Kennedy was found in the personal library of Linus Pauling, the recipient of two Nobel Prizes, one in chemistry and one in peace. It resides in the Oregon State University special collections where it is included among Pauling's personal books. The entry reads:

JX1974.7.B33 President John F. Kennedy, A Grand and Global Alliance: the Summons to World Peace through World Law. Edited by Joseph A. Bagnall, 1968.

"Dr. Joseph A. Bagnall's book will give students a new look at Kennedy's proposed global alliance. This is a workable scheme, in Kennedy's own words, of how to develop the international machinery to guarantee freedom, keep the peace, and save the planet from world-wide pollution. The book presents that part of the Kennedy global legacy that has been lost in a welter of Kennedy books that sensationalize rather than instruct."

--Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C.
President Emeritus of University of Notre Dame

"We will need global agreements to resolve environmental issues such as ozone depletion, and Dr. Bagnall's book documents the fact that President Kennedy set the precedents for such agreements."

Atmospheric, & Planetary Science

Co-Discoverer of Ozone Depletion
Recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry

"A vivid reminder of the hope, energy and vision of the Kennedy years."
