I suspect that the U.S. pursued a competitive strategy over detente until Nixon because of the the institutional memory of Stalin and Soviet foreign policy- mainly distrust. Premising nuclear weapons as the chief means of bankrupting the U.S.S.R. appears to have coalesced under Carter and matured under Reagan. I, too, wish we could rid ourselves of these. How would you prevent the Iranians from developing this weapon? Mr. Gittings,
