Response to The Civil Liberties Implications of a Nuclear Emergency

Introduction

John Barton first provoked me to take this issue seriously six years ago when he presented a paper entitled “The Impact of Intensified Nuclear Safeguards on Civil Liberties” at a conference sponsored by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I am more a disciple than a critic of the Barton approach, but he and I have both changed our thinking in a number of significant ways since that conference.
