Teller speaks about NATO, the United States' foreign relationships vis-a-vis defense, and the Cold War in light of the Vietnam War. He believes NATO allies should work together, and the United States should give the NATO allies a nuclear defense that they themselves can use with adequate safeguards. He argues for a missile-defense system.
