The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be just 3 minutes of midnight as of late 1985.

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 .
