Risk-taking Is The Essence Of Innovation.

World War I Broke Out Largely Because Of An Arms Race, And World War Ii Because Of The Lack Of An Arms Race.

Because Of New Technologies, New Wealth, New Conditions Of Domestic Life And Of International Relations, Unprecedented Criteria And Issues Are Coming Up For National Decision.

Clearly, The First Task Is To Gain Acceptance Of A More Reasonable View Of The Future, One That Opens Possibilities Rather Than Forecloses Them.

In A World Which Is Armed To Its Teeth With Nuclear Weapons, Every Quarrel Or Difference Of Opinion May Lead To Violence Of A Kind Quite Different From What Is Possible Today.

My Guess Is That Nuclear Weapons Will Be Used Sometime In The Next Hundred Years, But That Their Use Is Much More Likely To Be Small And Limited Than Widespread And Unconstrained.
