DESCRIPTION:The ALSJCC Henry Shenker Lecture Program proudly presents:\n\nThe Challenge 
 of Nuclear Weapons\nSpeaker: Dr. Sidney Drell\n\nThrough the Cold War 
 decades, the prospect of a nuclear holocaust was all too real. While the 
 demise of the  former Soviet Union has lessened that threat, today we face 
 a grave new danger -- the acquisition of nuclear weapons by hostile or 
 unstable governments and terrorists.  What can and should we be doing to 
 meet this challenge and prevent the world's most destructive weapons from 
 falling into dangerous hands?  Are there any reasons for us to still retain 
 thousands of nuclear warheads in our arsenals?  What are they for?  Can we 
 rekindle the bold vision of a world free of nuclear weapons that President 
 Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev brought to their remarkable summit 
 meeting at Reykjavik  21 years ago, and define practical steps toward 
 achieving such a goal?  These are some of the critical questions Dr. Sidney 
 Drell will address in his provocative talk at the ALSJCC on November 4. You 
 can't afford to miss this free lecture!\n \nSidney D. Drell\n\nDr. Sidney 
 Drell is a renowned physicist, and arms control specialist and technical
