      ab: The author comments on the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) as a means to render nuclear weapons obsolete. The rhetoric of U.S. President Ronald Reagan oversimplified the issue as assessed by the author since true peace desired by the bishop cannot be attained through a technological fix. The author poses a theory that the development of an effective defensive technology could produce the mirror image of an offensive weapon to match it. While SDI may hold out promise for nuclear disengagement, it can only be achieved with dialogue with the Russians.
