threatening to drop an atomic bomb in the North Sea in order
to alert English opinion to the dangers of an accidentally-
triggered nuclear war. The three later letters were along the
same lines, but differing in details of the threat made. All
four were written in an obvious effort to "prove" the existence
of the "psychoneurotic 67. 3 percent" on when the BERRY
LETTER had reported. All were released by the Soviet
Embassy in London, July-September 1958.
