QUOTES:	"We've got a song called 'Another Invented Disease', which is about how the more things you need, the less you actually are. We got signed to CBS for a lot of money, right. But none of us bought anything, except portable CD players and stuff. Then, two months later, another one came out that was thinner and I bought that one. It was no value to my life. It just means I have a smaller CD player." (Richey James)

UN (United Nations) International organization established immediately after World War II to maintain international peace and security and to achieve cooperation in solving international economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems. It replaced the League of Nations. It was first used officially on Jan. 1, 1942, when 26 states joined in the Declaration by the United Nations, pledging to continue their joint war effort and not to make peace separately. The UN Charter, the organization's governing treaty, was drawn up in 1945 at a conference held in San Francisco. The principal organs, as specified in the Charter, are the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Secretariat. The Secretariat, with the secretary general at its head, handles all administrative functions. Trygve Lie, the UN's first secretary general, was succeeded by Dag Hammarskjöld, U Thant, Kurt Waldheim, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Kofi Annan. In 1945 there were 51 members; there are now 184. At the outset, close cooperation among the members was expected, but hopes for essential accord were soon dashed by the Cold War, which hampered the functioning of many UN organs. Early UN peacekeeping efforts included the establish ment of armed forces to repel (1950) the North Korean attack on South Korea, the mobilization of troops and peacekeeping forces for the Congo, Bosnia, East Timor, Kosovo, Mocambique, Cyprus and the Middle East. The UN has prospered as a forum for debate intended to defuse international conflict, and it has worked to aid economic and technological development in developing nations. As the demand for peacekeeping forces has increased, however, the funds to pay for them have become harder to raise, and nations have not always been willing to contribute troops, particularly if the risks are high.
