1 My colleague, Dr. Oleg Hoeffding, has called my attention to, and translated for me, the opening paragraph of a review of the above-described RIIA pamphlet in the Soviet foreign affairs monthly, Mezhdunarodnaia Zhizn' [International Life], No. 3 (1957):

“Let us imagine tbat a murderer is addressing his victim as follows: ‘Look, here I have an enormous, heavy Mauser, and here a pretty little Browning. Don't fret, I'm not going to shoot you with the clumsy Mauser, I prefer to use the elegant little Browning.…’ This kind of speech has lately been addressed to the public by the propagandists of atomic war.…”

The review is entitled “The big lie about ‘little’ atomic wars.”
