\nto terminate all living activity on the planet in one
\nspasmodic hour of nuclear exchange.”

\n“Carol Rosin worked as an assistant to Wernher von Braun, and before he died, he sent her to me to work on these issues. We did the research, and I wrote the first draft. Thirty-four publishers refused to publish it or even seriously consider it. Such was the power of the White House, which did not want it published.
\n“I was subject to harassment, tapped phones, and more, much like we experience with government Special Access Programs today.”
