...answer endless questions about how far in cahoots his Soviet counterpart, Dr. Evgueni I. Chazov, really is with the Kremlin bosses. And all along he's patiently repeated over and over again the leitmotif of his group, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW)--that their sole purpose is to achieve peace through education on the horrors of nuclear...

One month before the Soviet Union announced its moratorium on nuclear testing, IPPNW formally appealed to President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev to halt nuclear testing.

It is a critical first step in slowing, and ultimately reversing this nuclear madness. Peter A. Zheutlin Director, Public Affairs...
