...morning, all the big TV spectaculars of their European journey-the President's meeting with Pope John Paul II in the Vatican, his addresses to Britain's Parliament and the West German Bundestag, his horseback ride with Queen Elizabeth II in Windsor Great Park-were yet to occur.

More disturbing, some scientists have cautioned that if the Arctic Ocean is not replenished by fresh water, it will get salt ier, its freezing point will drop, and the icecap will begin to melt, possibly starting a global warming trend. Other scientists fear that just the opposite may occur: as the flow of warmer fresh water is reduced, the polar ice may expand.

Perhaps the most intriguing question of all is what will be the world's reaction to the second nuclear war? Will the next nuclear war provide the stimulus for making the world safer...
