McGovern is undoubtedly right in arguing that America's safety does not depend upon sheer nuclear numbers, as the recent U.S.-Soviet agreements bear witness. And there is always a mood in the country to cut back on arms in the wake of a war. But the net effect of McGovern in the White House would likely be that the U.S. would be living more dangerously.
