    The conflict that exists today is no more than

    an old-style struggle for power, once again

    presented to mankind in semi-religious

    trappings. The difference is that, this time, thedevelopment of atomic power has imbued the

    struggle with a ghostly character; for both

    parties know and admit that, should the quarrel

    deteriorate into actual war, mankind is doomed.

    - Albert Einstein
