Abstract

I read with great personal interest Pete Seeger's review of Doris Haddock's trek to Point Hope, Alaska and her efforts to stop Edward Teller's plan to use an H-bomb explosion to create a harbor at Cape Lisbon (near Point Hope) which could be used to ship coal from nearby deposits. In reality this was Teller's attempt to evade the then existing Test Ban Agreements with the Soviet Union.
