                                %HOW TRUST MUTUALLY 860415

     We trust the Russians,  but not wisely.   Many people
who  do  not  think that they trust the Russians  ask  how
anybody  could  trust  the Russians.   We  can  not  avoid
trusting  the  Russians  in some way.   We trust  them  to
participate in an arms race according to unwritten  rules,
and  to  restrain their use of hydrogen bombs according to
tacit understandings,   just as they trust us  to  do  the
same.  We are playing a dangerous game on the surface of a
small planet from which we are not free to leave.   Play a
game we must,  but the question is what game.  Shall it be
a  game  of cooperation and trust,  according to  mutually
agreed upon rules?   Shall it be a game  of  conflict  and
distrust   according   to   rules  of  mutual   suspicion,
misunderstanding,  ignorance and rejection?   How shall we
trust  each other,  for trust each other we must---because
we  are  all  stuck on the surface of  this  unique  small
planet.
