	Olof Palme and Jawaharlal Nehru
		Palme's visit to India in 1953 was another great influence - as he explained in his Indira Gandhi Memorial Lecture in January1985 - enhancing his understanding of the developing countries and of their need for international solidarity to overcome poverty and inequality.
		Olof Palme showed concern over apartheid even as a student leader in the early the 'fifties, when he donated blood to South African students struggling against segregation in education.
		It is equally appropriate that the Palme family decided to donate the proceeds of the award to the children of Soweto, who are not merely suffering under apartheid but are fighting heroically against it, in one of the most moving episodes in the struggle for a New World Order.

		I met Olof Palme several times after that, and he always left the same impression: He was very much at ease in the company of others, was exceptionally well-informed on just about everything, and did his best to help all those who found refuge in his country.
		Only an inclusive general-welfare society, Palme argued, provides all of its members with the security-- and thus the freedom-- that is necessary to build a strong family rooted in a thriving community.
		Palme's talk of "the great life projects" evoked the original version of the American Dream which, as Christopher Lasch pointed out, was not about the rapid acquisition of wealth, but rather participation in a society of equals.
