...Halting nuclear weapons testing as soon as the development of the inspection system and the manufacture ban makes it feasible. A possible first step: an early stop to big H-bomb tests, if it can be guaranteed that violations can be promptly detected...
...program will again clear the way in consciousness of those people who vacillate and have not yet taken up our ideology. I am not speaking of capitalists-it is impossible to re-educate them. The grave is the only cure for hunchbacks. This program is stronger than the H-bomb.

Mind & Mouse. Psychiatrist Sargant, 50, thought he saw similar mechanisms in the breakdowns of British soldiers and heavily bombed civilians in World War II. From his evidence that the strongest-willed soldier would collapse if battle stress were sufficiently prolonged, Dr. Sargant took a flying leap to the conclusion that virtually any man's mind, if it cracks, will follow one of the behavior patterns that Pavlov thought he saw in dogs. At first, says Sargant, the mind seems to equalize all stimuli and reacts with the same intensity to a bomb attack or the squeal of a mouse...
