MUCH of Bundy's language is in the mode of current foreign policy rhetoric. He uses the phrase "strategic survivability" to point to his belief that the nature of nuclear deterrent depends upon the characteristics--rather than the amount--of nuclear warheads. His thinking is slightly reminiscent of Reagan's "peace through strength" motto that asserts the need for an offensive system so powerful that it deters a first-strike attack.

The mode of travel, however, could be nothing like the mechanical time machine, complete with saddle, envisioned by H.G. Wells. It is hard to conceive how a human being could move through a wormhole, since it would theoretically be narrower than an atom, and it would tend to vanish the instant it formed...
