Defusing the Nuclear Threat

The risk of a nuclear catastrophe is far greater than we think.

Our ability to reduce that risk is far greater than we imagine.

Too few people are interested in nuclear weapons and there's a much larger “market” of people wanting to improve their relationships, so I’m now working with my wife Dorothie on a new approach that combines the personal with the global.

Lessons From the Cuban Missile Crisis: Did you know that JFK was taking amphetamines? that American destroyers unknowingly attacked Soviet subs armed with nuclear torpedoes? that we are still engaged in very risky behavior? Learn how we can change that!

Nuclear Tipping Point Film Available

April 24, 2010

As part of a series of events at Stanford University on Defusing the Nuclear Threat, former Secretary of State George Shultz and former Secretary of Defense William Perry screened their powerful documentary Nuclear Tipping Point last Tuesday to an audience of several hundred people. Both the movie and their comments afterward made a deep impression on the audience.

Our web site now has an 8-minute extended trailer of Nuclear Tipping Point. Look for the YouTube screen about half way down the page. Just above that screen, there's also a link for getting a free DVD of the full 55-minute movie.

I hope you'll consider trying to create a pocket of nuclear awareness by inviting friends to view the movie with you. Be sure to read our Suggestions for Increasing Your Effectiveness first. Based on decades of experience, they can greatly simplify the process of discussing this issue with others.

Thanks very much.
