...Herman Kahn's ponderous shocker, On Thermonuclear War, frequently mentions a weapon whose purpose is to end all human life: the Doomsday Machine. Kahn discusses its political uses as calmly as if it were a bug killer, but he gives few technical details. In the latest Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Physicist W. H.

Herman Kahn, publicity man for Civil Defense, helped christen the column by agreeing with 99 per cent of America on how necessary it is to prepare for war. The cynical quickly complained the new Dissent was only false advertising; but as one shrewd observer commented, "What Kahn actually challenges is the prevalent notion that nuclear war will somehow be unpleasant...
