Almost from the day of their inception, nuclear weapons were regarded in two distinct ways. On one side there were those who regarded them as qualitatively different and, therefore, too terrible to use for any other purpose except deterrence pure and simple. On the other, there were those who conceived them as fundamentally similar to, if much more powerful than, all previous weapons. MARTIN VAN CREVELD, TECHNOLOGY AND WAR |

Vincent Kellner sat at his desk, staring at the opposite wall, the disaster facing the North American continent almost forgotten at the moment. A more personal calamity overwhelmed him. Fisk had been both right and wrong. It had not been a leak, but a river. The immensity of the betrayal stunned and bewildered him. What could I ever have done to Camilla, when could I have angered her, or hurt her enough, to cause her to turn traitor? The President would have to be told, and Kellner burned with the humiliation that would entail. He would write out his resignation immediately. |
