Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence - a geopolitical instrument that became more than a nuclear watchdog. Feature articles in this now-vintage 1987 issue: U.S.-Soviet Summit (11th); Weapons Design Impedes Test Ban; Spent Nuclear Fuel and Waste; Gorbachev's Policy Innovations; Sea Provocations; Les Aspin; Pugwash Council .
