Ideas of the Cold War which underlie pronouncements of government have been faithfully echoed for more than a decade by churches, businesses and professional organizations, labor unions, newspapers and most of the other opinion making powers. Dissent has been largely smothered. Nevertheless, the developing peace movement has already demonstrated its ability to challenge the assumption and the practices of the Cold War and survive. In an age of political orthodoxy, institutional morality and corporate control, individuals are trying to speak out and be heard. This precisely is the most significant single fact about the developing peace movement.
