Quotations

“[D]uring the Reagan years it became really clear that the build up of nuclear weapons was going to be something that was not only going to be very costly but was very dangerous. That really kind of captured women a little bit because on the surface of it most women understood. You didn't have to write a book about it for them. They understood that nuclear weapons didn't make them feel safer.” (David Brooks interview, June 18, 2002; photo healthunit.umt.edu)
