TIME has followed the Sakharov saga since 1961, when the man who helped develop the Soviet H-bomb went on record opposing atmospheric testing of a 100-megaton weapon. In February 1977 a cover story focused on his pivotal role in organizing Soviet human-rights campaigners. And last October TIME featured excerpts from Alone Together, the autobiography of Bonner. Says Talbott of Sakharov's views in this week's issue: "His arms-control advice could hardly be more timely. It comes just as the negotiations in Geneva are showing their first serious signs of progress since the debacle at Reykjavik...

The claim that the existence of the SDI program has spurred the U.S.S.R. to disarmament negotiations is also wrong. On the contrary, the SDI program is impeding those negotiations...
...fission and fusion kind) can be reliably determined without conducting nuclear tests. A possible exception may be weapons based on new physical and design principles. But existing physical and design principles already are quite sufficient to manufacture nuclear weapons satisfying all military requirements. Testing is not required to develop new versions of weapons differing only in terms of dimensions, weight or other such parameters from those previously tested. Testing is currently not necessary to verify the reliability of older, stockpiled weapons or to verify their ability to withstand the mechanical, thermal and radiation effects they may have been subjected...
This new education, which gives Frere Jacques a whole new meaning, can help your child develop the capacities to become a fulfilled speaking subject, and prepare him to confront successfully the challenge offered by each of life's aporias. He'll learn to undermine the binary oppositions that separate work and play, mom and dad, fact and fiction. Of course, this creates problems when Junior lies to mom and swears he's telling the truth...
