SCHELL, JONATHAN | December 24, 2007 issue

add to cart   close window

The article examines the threat posed by nuclear weapons in the 21st century. The danger of the arms race between the U.S. and Soviet Union has given way to the threat of nuclear proliferation. This is more dangerous in many ways, as it is less subject to international control and far more unpredictable. Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's wish to abolish nuclear weapons is recalled. The positions of current presidential candidates are given.
