We stand poised precariously and challengingly on the razor's edge of destiny. We are now at the mercy of nuclear bombs and the like, which would destroy us completely if we fail to control them wisely. And wisdom in this crisis means sensitiveness to the basic values of life; it means a vivid realization that we are literally living in one world where we must either swim, or sink together.
