Recently released papers and tapes have revealed that the United States and the Soviet Union came even closer to a nuclear exchange during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 than many realized at the time. In Comment, David Gibson examines the decision-making processes that took the world to the brink and back. Today, with nine nuclear-weapons states and counting, the world may be an even more dangerous place. Scott Sagan argues that although there is something in the claim that the two cold war superpowers achieved an uneasy balance that prevented conflict, no such stability can be achieved between multiple nuclear-weapons states. Sagan sees arms reduction as essential, with the halfway house of slimmed-down nuclear arsenals as a worthwhile intermediate goal. Cover: Viktor Koen.+ H3 P( i" l& b& c1 i1 t- e8 s
