Are our leaders, as Mr. Beilenson maintains, profoundly negligent in failing to
provide seriously for either civil defense or anti-ballistic-missile defense? Or does such thinking, as Mr. Coffin believes, lead away from disarmament and straight to nuclear destruction? LB: "The best experts say 2 to 6 per cent would die with good civil defense, and that's all. But suppose they're wrong. Let's suppose that civil defense would save only five to ten million people. Aren't they worth saving? What's the duty of a government except to save its citizens?" ... WSC: "The best minds, I think, have said that in a nuclear age everything has changed except our way of thinking.... The risks inherent in disarmament pale in comparison with the risks in continuing the present arms race." ... WSC: "We have no choice but to trust, and they have no choice but to trust." WFB: "I have a choice. I elect not to trust. Put me down for not trusting." LB: "Me, too." WSC: "I don't trust either of you very far, because you're going to get us into the worst possible jam."
