Scope and Content of the Collection

The Norman Cousins papers include correspondence, writings, notes, printed matter, and audiovisual material related to journalism and to advocacy of peace, disarmament, and world federation.
Norman Cousins was a Saturday Review editor-in-chief, peace advocate, and unofficial diplomat. During his tenure at the Saturday Review, Cousins wrote passionately in support of peace and the need for nuclear disarmament. In addition to his editorial work, Cousins was the president of the World Federalist Association, as well as chairman of the Committee for Sane Nuclear Policy. His activism culminated in his nomination as the unofficial ambassador between the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Holy See during the Kennedy Administration.
The papers document his work on behalf of peace. The collection includes Correspondence with politicians, scientists, world leaders, and other significant figures of the twentieth century, including George Bush, Jimmy Carter, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Albert Einstein, Gerald R. Ford, Indira Gandhi, Hubert H. Humphrey, Lyndon B. Johnson, Helen Keller, John F. Kennedy, Jawaharlal Nehru, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Albert Schweitzer, Adlai E. Stevenson, Harry S. Truman, and U. Thant.
The Subject File includes a copy of the papal encyclical of Pope John XXVIII entitled Pacem in Terris, signed on the title page by Nikita Khrushchev. The encyclical was a gift to Khrushchev from the pope, hand delivered by Norman Cousins in April 1963 during a diplomatic mission. The file also includes a Russian fable inscribed by John F. Kennedy. In addition, documentation of the sale of the Saturday Review can be found in this file, as well as the first issue of World Magazine, which Cousins founded in 1972. Also included are writings of Albert Schweitzer.
Cousins visited Albert Schweitzer at his hospital in Lambarene, Gabon, and wrote extensively about Schweitzer's life and mission. The Photographs include photographic prints of Schweitzer's journal, correspondence, and two manuscripts.
Researchers should note that a substantial amount of Norman Cousins material can be found in his collection at the University of California, Los Angeles.
