Abstract
In common, I imagine, with many readers of Nature, I was extremely disturbed by the editorials of September 28 and October 5 on “Conditions of Survival”. We have long been accustomed to have in these editorials of Nature, sober and constructive examination of the social implications of science. It is all the more surprising to find ill-considered intrusions into political topics, the effect of which—whatever the intention—is to increase the divisions in a world where unity is the essential condition for survival.
