ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the vocabulary of the peacemakers the terms: No-kill, and mini-max as characterizations of the needs of the time. The basic principle is one of "mini-max"—which means the minimum requirements necessary to maintain peaceful relations while at the same time offering the maximum opportunities for social change and personal development. A mini-max theory of peace remains the best, if not the only secure way to achieve a genuine resolution of the East-West struggle for the minds of men. A mini-max approach to peace is not a sanction for intellectual chaos. It requires fidelity to the patterns of culture, as men work out such patterns. In a "no-kill" situation, which is also the simplest game, it involves basic settlements, the entire phraseology and ideology of the new civilian militarists can be seen as the ballast of terrormongers, and not as a new science.
