Putting the nuclear genie back in the bottle
Article Abstract:
The possibility of a nuclear war was significantly reduced through the Intermediate Nuclear Forces agreement of 1987 and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 1993. A nuclear holocaust, however, remains a threat as long as nations know how to develop these weapons. A more comprehensive worldwide effort is needed to ensure nuclear nonproliferation. A global ban on nuclear weapons testing should also be implemented.

The new terror: nutcakes with nukes
Article Abstract:
The Mar. 1995 subway attack in Japan of the Aum Shinrikyo, a cult that preached Armageddon between US and Japan, exposed the cult's activities to the world. It also underscored the need for a constant global vigilance against such groups and the preservation of arms control agreements.
