BR thinks Williams attaches too much importance to the criticism of S. Hook and E. Teller. "My ethical proposition concerning nuclear war is quite simple: I should prefer man to settle differences in ways other than those of indiscriminate murder. Those who don't share this prejudice will waste many words in the creation of theoretical superstructure to hide the fact."

Re global warming: "I find what you say extraordinarily interesting and I wish I were competent to form an opinion ... I have neither the leisure nor the energy to grapple with a whole set of ideas that are new to me and outside the sphere of my competence. It seems, therefore, that, to my great regret, I cannot do anything to help you in the spread of some possibly very important knowledge."
