III. Current Developments and Dangers of Atomic Armaments

Abstract

Abstract“…Our main problem arises from the fact that ‘hawks' thrive on secrecy. When reliable data on the actions and intentions of the other side are lacking, the opponents of arms control and disarmament are able to make the most outlandish assertions about the nature of such actions and intentions, while ‘doves' are unable to refute them.” Bernard T. Feld is professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and president of the Council for a Livable World. This article is based on a paper presented at a Conference of the World Federation of Scientific Workers held in Berlin Nov. 21, 1971.
