The familiar litany of facts and figures (11,488 warheads: us, 9,409 warheads: them) is trotted out by veteran actor Paul Newman in this solid but dated overview of the nuclear arms situation. The focus is on comprehensive test ban negotiations from Eisenhower through Carter, and how seismographic stations, which would record illegal explosions, might be used to monitor Soviet adherence to the agreement (strangely, U.S. activity does not seem to be in question-no offer for similar stations in the land of the free and the home of the brave is put forth). Interviews range from the sublime (Dagmar Wilson, a woman who began protesting as early as 1961) to the ridiculous (Ted Turner: "Well, I think that..." blah, blah, blah). The tape winds up with Newman's plea that we send in our letters to Reagan in support of a test ban. Not a bad program, but it's not as if there haven't been a few tapes done on the subject after 1986 either. Not recommended. (Available from: Alymer Press, P.O. Box 2735, Madison, WI 53701.)
