Defusing the Nuclear Threat

The risk of a nuclear catastrophe is far greater than we think.

Our ability to reduce that risk is far greater than we imagine.

Too few people are interested in nuclear weapons and there's a much larger “market” of people wanting to improve their relationships, so I’m now working with my wife Dorothie on a new approach that combines the personal with the global.

Lessons From the Cuban Missile Crisis: Did you know that JFK was taking amphetamines? that American destroyers unknowingly attacked Soviet subs armed with nuclear torpedoes? that we are still engaged in very risky behavior? Learn how we can change that!

How Risky is Nuclear Optimism?: Read Prof. Hellman's paper in The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and find out.

Digg the Soaring article!
November 24, 2008

One of the participants in this project, Michael Rogawski, has created a link to my recent "Soaring article" on Digg, another news aggregator at:

http://digg.com/politics/Soaring_Cryptography_and_Nuclear_Weapons_by_Martin_Hellman

If enough people click on the "digg it" icon to the left of the title, it will rise in the rankings, get more visibility, and create another avalanche of web hits similar to being "slashdotted."

So, if you liked the article, I hope you will digg it and consider adding a comment. This is also an opportunity to email friends and suggest they do the same. Whether or not they digg the article, it's an opportunity to keep this critical, but neglected issue alive in their minds, and that's currently what is needed to build support for change.

Thanks for considering this request, and have a great Thanksgiving.
