We should face the fact that the present President of the United States is a man who gets a kick out of the idea of throwing bombs on the Soviet Union, not a man who considers nuclear attack as a moral and practical impossibility and nuclear retaliation as a horrible last resort. He has made it clear that he looks forward to WW III as to a Carnival and is eager to play a leading role in the greatest horror show ever. We should be grateful to Mr. Reagan for providing this valuable insight into his psyche and should act accordingly. Dick Grune Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
