...interesting to compare each of these talks-albeit suspended--to the sequence of events in The Day After. Considering the staggering amount of overkill capacity possessed by both superpowers, it can safely be concluded that no conceivable START agreement could have saved Lawrence, Kansas.

The airburst weapons used in the movie were either bombs or rockets launched from planes, ground-launched short-range rockets, or artillery-launched weapons.

Although not inherently wrong--all substances possess at least some risk--Ruckelshaus has utilized this approach too broadly, to the detriment of harmful substance banning.
