In December, I wrote: “Does it make sense to give any one man the power to blow up the world?” Little did I know!
“Seventy-five years ago, science created the most terrible weapon in human history the atom bomb. … Since then, we’ve gotten used to living with the bomb, first the atomic, then the hydrogen. Tens of thousands of bombs, that is. For most, or all of our lives one man the president of the United States has had the unchecked power to begin a nuclear war without consulting with anyone, should he so choose.”
