Martin put his finger on the main dilemma-how many fingers, and whose, should be on the West's nuclear triggers? He urged "a greater sharing in nuclear strategy without further proliferation of control." But U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk gave not the slightest hint that Washington is yet prepared to give up final say-so over its nuclear powerhouse. Instead, Rusk referred once more to U.S. suggestions for a multilateral nuclear fleet-over which Washington would have ultimate control...
Neutrality & Conservatism. Something like the fairy-tale gnomes that guarded subterranean treasures, Swiss bankers speak sparingly, avoid social ostentation, and bury their money-two floors below ground level in vaults that are built to withstand even nuclear at tack.

Although the U.S. can threaten a holocaust if China re-escalates, the fact is that nuclear weapons cannot win the kind of war the government engages...
...most of Asia. What do Asians gain from a doctrine that promises to preserve freedom for Americans by pounding the jungles and sweeping the villages with napalm-bomb fires wherever Communism threatens? And one day, in this or some other war like it, the opponent may not back down. Nuclear war would not be the last even in world history, but the United States would not emerge stronger from...
