NEW YORK--Soviet peacemaker Katerina Lycheva arrived in New York on Sunday, saying that adults often find it difficult to agree but that "if it was up to the children, it would take us about a minute or so to get together."1
Katerina, 11, arrived from Chicago arm-in-arm with her travelling companion Star Rowe of San Francisco.
Each girl lighted a candle after arriving at La Guardia Airport.
"I light this candle and I hope the sun will always shine as bright as this candle," Katerina said. "And I think that it will shine to all children in the world, and for this we must struggle for peace."
Star said, "I light this candle because if we don't have peace in the world, we have no world."2
Speaking to reporters, Katerina said: "Sometimes grown-ups find it very hard to get together to agree about things. They quarrel, they fight. I think if it was up to the children, it would take us about a minute or so to get together."1
Katerina's two-week, five-city tour was prompted by a 1983 Russian tour by Maine schoolgirl Samantha Smith, who died in a plane crash last year.
Katerina was scheduled today to be interviewed on two national television programs, participate in an exchange of "peace letters" at a Brooklyn elementary school and go sightseeing.
She said she looked forward most to seeing the Statue of Liberty.
In Chicago, an American family welcomed Katerina into their home Saturday night.
