A Farewell to Arms Control?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Last week Soviet and American negotiators finished their latest round of talks aimed at controlling the East-West balance of nuclear weapons. Next month a major Geneva conference will review plans to stop any more countries getting 'The Bomb'. But is it all too late? Are the superpowers playing with the future of the world? Do they believe in arms control? Christopher Lee investigates, with the help of among others, former US Defense Secretary Harold Brown , Professor Anatoly Gromyko of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme ,
US Assistant Defense Secretary Richard Perle , and astronomer Carl Sagan.
A BBC Radio News production by MARTIN LEEBURN
