Abstract

The Gift of Time
Schell, Jonathan | February 2, 1998 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on nuclear war in the U.S. Because the nuclear age and the cold war were born at almost the same time and developed together at every point, few observers troubled at the time to distinguish clearly between the two. But now that history has unexpectedly untangled them. The one without the other and questions in eclipse for half a century have been placed before us again. By choosing to call for the elimination of nuclear weapons, the new abolitionists have revived a vision that had all but disappeared since the beginning of the nuclear age, when the United States placed the Baruch plan, which called for eliminating nuclear weapons, before the United Nations.
