There is nervousness about the danger of nuclear war surfacing in Establishment and other mainstream media—albeit with lies about its origin and with dumb proposals about what to do. That’s the case of a letter to the editor in the Sept. 17 Financial Times by Norman Dombey, Professor Emeritus of Theoretical Physics, University of Sussex, Brighton, U.K., headlined “How NATO and the U.S.S.R. Avoided 1980s Nuclear War"; a Sept. 16 article in Foreign Affairs headlined “The Crumbling Nuclear Order: How To Save the Norms Against Testing, Building, and Using the Ultimate Weapon,” by Doreen Horschig and Heather Williams; and a somewhat more sensible Michael Klare piece in [The Nation} on Sept. 17, “The Nuclear Arms Race Is Back and More Terrifying Than Ever; The world is now closer to an actual nuclear conflagration than at any time since the end of the Cold War.” Klare is The Nation’s chief defense correspondent and professor emeritus of peace and world-security studies at Hampshire College and senior visiting fellow at the Arms Control Association in Washington, D.C.
