From International Socialist Review, Vol.18 No.4, Fall 1957, p.120.
Transcription & mark-up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.

 

“It is presumed that Russia, as well as the western powers, would like to avoid a world-engulfing atomic holocaust and will make determined efforts to that end. However, the belief that any East-West atomic conflict would lead to total devastation is giving way here to the idea that the existence of small nuclear weapons will make a limited military clash, or ‘brush fire’ conflict, entirely conceivable in the coming years.”

– Aug. 10, Associated Press dispatch from Washington.
