Can we destroy nukes before they destroy us?
You’re invited to hear
HELEN CALDICOTT
ADMISSION FREE
Dr. Helen Caldicott, M.D., the world’s foremost anti-nuclear activist, will lecture in the Main SF Public Library’s Koret Auditorium She will also answer questions. The event is free of charge.
Among critical issues to be discussed are Russian and-American preparations for nuclear war on each other. “Thousands of nuclear weapons remain continuously on hair-trigger alert” and any international disturbance could set off a “conflagration and nuclear winter,” ending most human life. That is the climax of “The New Nuclear Danger” (one of three Caldicott books that may be available before and after the talk).
Her appearance is co-sponsored by the library’s Business, Science and Technology Department and a new Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament. The latter allies 13 pro-peace groups, including AFSC and the War and Law League, which initiated the event as its biennial meeting and organized the coalition.
