Notes and topics

BR writes to Taylor regarding a letter to the editor in the New Statesman, "The Power of Scientists" by Hyman Levy, in which Levy states that Taylor has been attacking scientists (record 117251). BR replies that scientists have done more than many to inform the world of the consequences of nuclear war. "You apparently do not know about the Pugwash movement which first brought East and West together in informal conferences and has made quite astonishing progress in practical suggestions for diminishing the war danger." "If you are going to blame scientists for the techniques they have discovered, you might equally blame the inventors of printing who made modern governmental propaganda possible."
