Rappaport, who was a pioneer prisoner dilemma type who was a Quaker, 
opposed to war and far away from RAND. 
 
Following the link between game theory and nuclear war, let me shift to 
Edward Teller.  Will he be remembered as a scientist or as a Cold (Hot?) 
warrier?  If his hydrogen bomb work leads to a viable, cheap fusion energy
