"The fact that most of the time human beings put the truth about the nature and risks of the nuclear war out of their minds because it is too painful and therefore not "acceptable", does not alter the nature and risks of such war. The device of "rejection" may temporarily cover up anxiety, but it does not bestow peace of mind and emotional security." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King's Nobel Lecture, delivered in the Auditorium of the University of Oslo (11 December 1964)
