DEDICATION: To the memory of Michael Wallace, who was a member of the Board of Canadian Pugwash. He was a Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia, and his expert knowledge of international security and military matters was vast and often used on our behalf. His paper, with Steven Staples, gave us the official kick-off of our campaign to promote the formation of a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Arctic.
