...some reason, I've never enjoyed the autumn as much as I have this year. I've never appreciated the subtly changing colors of the leaves, the gradual chilling of the air or the slowly shortening afternoons. It's an essential transition, I've realized. A transition that a freshman at a place like Harvard can easily miss. As a sophomore, it's as if my eyes have been reopened to the autumn that I loved as a child...

In light of this commitment, we have little reason not to sign on to a treaty preventing other nations from building new arsenals. The logic of a test ban was recognized 40 years ago by former president Dwight D. Eisenhower when he called for a treaty ending nuclear tests: because no arsenal can be developed without testing the components, a test ban would be a perhaps insurmountable barrier to any would-be nuclear power...
