RADIO PROGRAM No. 41 - What Is the Greatest Power?

HOST: The world thinks in terms of power. Power tools build our homes. Power mowers cut the grass. Rocket power thrusts men closer to the moon. The world's most challenging problem today involves explosive power—nuclear power measured in megatons—force equal to millions of tons of TNT.

Writing of the combined threat and promise of nuclear power recently in the Saturday Review, John F. Wharton made this comment: "Some evolutionary force drives man, unlike any other species, to greater and greater heights of efficiency, achieved at greater and greater risk to His own kind. So long as the promise is there, the threat will not be eliminated."

What about that? Do you agree that the more we learn about the use of power, the more dangerous the world will become?
