Notes and topics

The statement is taken from the October 1965 issue of The Minority of One, and concerns nuclear weapons proliferation. At the top of the page Medlock has written, "BR and ER can't remember if I sent this—we are mailing out several hundred of these JM. 10/65".

Also present are several newspaper clippings: document .178738, a clipping from the Ghanaian Times, 2 Oct. 1965. The headline reads "Mit ze Bomb", and comments on the Indo-Pakistani conflict, noting "If either side learns that Sir Bertrand Russel for example is likely to be killed if they let go an artillery barrage they will think four times before doing so." In Medlock's hand, at the foot of the page: "Some handy advice from our local humorist, Henry Ofori, or Cassius Nimbus!! Still nobody can spell your name!"

Document .178739, a clipping from the 24 September 1965 issue of The Spark. The headline reads "Blueprint of U.S. Intervention in Africa".
