“The President says, ‘George, I’m sorry but tens of millions must die,’” Fisher wrote. The plan was published in a 1981 edition of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Titled simply “Preventing nuclear war,” most of the text was spent reiterating the familiar maxim that nobody wins a nuclear war. But near the end, Fisher revealed that he thought of the plan while working on an early arms control proposal.
