Nuclear warfare

Sir,—ln attacking myths about nuclear warfare (“The Press,” .October 21), Dr Teller merely adds to them, if only by implication. Apparently he would have us believe that a nuclear war is winnable; that it would not escalate into a holo-

caust (stockpiles are hot big enough—sic) and that life for survivors will be better after such a war than before it. “The Press" standards must be questioned, for presenting a condensation of the Readers Digest. This magazine is known for providing general comfort on any issue to anyone. President Truman did not want the Hiroshima bomb dropped, especially with the Japanese (in his view) already beaten. That the event had survivors exposes Teller and his “not all bad” philosophy as callous and inhuman, contributing nothing of comfort to peace-lovers.— Yours, etc., GRAHAM MURRAY. October 25, 1982.
