Abstract
The United States and the Soviet Union are beginning to hold talks on the limitation of strategic nuclear weapons. There is no guarantee that these talks will lead to agreements or even to valuable exchanges of ideas. But potentially they are the most important formal arms control negotiations of the postwar years for they raise directly, as between the two super powers, who alone are able to determine it, the question of the future of the central balance of strategic nuclear power, around which the whole structure of international relationships is built.
From Arms Control and National Security, vol.1, 1970, pp.1–23.
