Good evening, my fellow citizens:
I speak to you tonight in a spirit of hope. Eighteen years ago the
advent of nuclear weapons changed the course of the world as well as the War.
Since that time, all mankind has been struggling to escape from the darkening
prospects of mass destruction on earth. In an age when both sides have come
to possess enough nuclear power to destroy the human race several

a vicious circle of conflicting ideology and interests. Each increase of tension
has produced an increase in arms; each increase in arms has produced an
increase in tension.
