Scope and Content
Presented by the Center for Defense Information and Paul Newman. Narrated by Paul Newman. Program suggests that humans direct all resources towards creating a future safe from the threat of nuclear devastation. It argues for a comprehensive test ban to stop nuclear production and probable explosion. Finally, Newman urges the public to act, to have Reagan put a test ban on the negotiating table, and to make a step toward reason, and hence, a step away from war. Eisenhower quote rolling on screen at end of program: "...people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days, governments had better get out of the way and let them have it."
