Total disarmament, to be sure, is not the only possible forward step. Some sort of half-way measure is more likely to emerge from negotiation. But along this line Khrushchev's particular proposals require very careful scrutiny, for they seem designed to weaken the West far more than the Soviet Union. The Russians ask the elimination of foreign bases and nuclear weapons, followed, not accompanied, by inspection.

...mediocre range afforded by popular literature and the mass media? If the light of the Godhead has gone out, what is to save us from an everlasting night of spiritual squalor, timidity, and sloth?
