The interview proceeds chronologically, beginning with Cousin's position with Current History and extending through his career at UCLA. The interviewee and interviewer agreed to give minimal attention to his career at the Saturday Review of Literature, extensively chronicled elsewhere. The interview examines Cousins's activities in peace and antinuclear movements since the 1940s, his writing, his struggle with ankylosing spondylitis -- a serious degenerative collagen disease -- and his subsequent interest in helping other patients with life-threatening illnesses to help themselves. The interview includes extensive discussion of the United World Federalists, the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE), Cousin's diplomatic work, and his friendship with important political leaders of the post-World War II world.
