' do know that I want to see peace, but which policy will bring this about-if I knew this I wouldn'be bothering doing research. I'd be writing articles, trying to convince other people.' Dr. Laulicht. a sociologist from the University of Kentucky, played a large part in directing one of the earliest attempts in this country to carry out ' laboratory research ' on the problem of war: the Vietnam Simulation organised at leeds University. In this talk he describes how the Simulation worked: the larger scheme of which it is a part: and some of the problems and possibilities of this new approach.
