...succeeded in dividing between "imperialist West" and "peace-loving East." Year after year, the Red regime chipped away at Protestant prerogatives, persecuted pastors, and drove thousands of others into flight to the West. They played on pacifist tendencies wherever they showed themselves and vilified outspoken anti-Communists as atom-happy militarists...
...Inward Eye. Politically, Schirmbeck is an annoying cafe neutralist; he indulges himself in an overcrude lampoon of U.S. Physicist Edward Teller, and solemnly puts forth the preposterous view that Atom Spies "Arthur and Edith Rosenbluth" were martyrs in the cause of freedom of information. But the author's principal concern is examined exhaustively and well: If the eye of science offends, should it be plucked out? The heroic Prince de Bary refuses to build war brains for the OSI, and retires to a life of contemplation. Subtly enough that the truth does not cloy, Schirmbeck answers his own question...
...paneled Bow Street Magistrates' Court had seen nothing like it since the case of Atom Spy Klaus Fuchs in 1950. Up before Magistrate K.J.P.

...sexual ercesses, drug taking . . ." A quick follow-up came from the Soviet embassy in London in the form of a letter purporting to be from a U.S.A.F. pilot who threatened to drop an A-bomb in the North Sea in order to awaken Britain to the dangers of having atom-armed U.S. planes patrolling in British skies. Despite quick exposure for what they were, the forgeries nonetheless created in some minds a picture of the U.S. as irresponsibly indifferent to the safety of its allies, fired the zeal of British and Japanese "ban the A-bomb" rioters...
...Drop of Ink. From his rigorous criticism of such peace mechanisms as exist, one might expect Jaspers to lose hope for the future. Quite the contrary. Fatalism and despair, he argues, rise from certainties that are not really certain. If one atom bomb is dropped, there is no certainty that all will be dropped or that every last man will perish. If humanity is blackmailed into totalitarian slavery out of fear of the bomb, there is also no certainty that in tortuous, labyrinthine ways, man would not eventually recover his freedom...
