ÜUR C OVER
For almost 50 years
The Plain Truth
has announced that there is no
major war prophesied in the pages of the Bible between the U.S. and the
U.S.S.R. The determination by the leaders of each superpower to avoid
such a confrontation-despite major political differences-does not mean a
nuclear threat cannot arise from other powers, small or great.
