David Lawrence analyzes reactions to Andrei Gromyko at the United Nations over Baruch’s plan to gradually reveal the atomic secret. He argues the Russian counterproposal creates a stalemate favoring those who want secrecy, notes U S congressional sentiment, and cites Moscow’s military buildup and expansion as deterrents to sharing the bomb. The piece ends with a reflection on shifting attitudes and censorship during the period.
