"Fletcher Markle travels to Ohio to speak with industrialist Cyrus Eaton from Pugwash, Nova Scotia. In this episode Mr. Eaton discusses his friendship with Soviet leader Nikita Kruschev, his ambitions at age 80, and how he founded the Pugwash Conference in Nova Scotia. He also mentions how Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell influenced his decision to make the conference a scientific one in hopes of preventing world countries from using nuclear weaponry."
