War. Really, Really Warped.</STRONG> These are just a few of the
suggestions emailed by dozens of creative, and in many cases, outraged,
readers to the question we posed in our last news update. We asked, what
would YOU call the RRW? Officially, RRW is short for <A

Replacement Warhead</FONT></A>, the Department of Energy’s plan to replace
the aging W76 warhead that sits atop Trident submarine-based missiles, and
eventually to rebuild every nuclear warhead in the arsenal. The program
has provoked widespread skepticism, informed by the work of Ploughshares
Fund grantees, about the need for any new warheads, and even greater
concern about the impact the program will have on the spread of nuclear
weapons and prospects for global security. Believing that the new
warhead’s innocuous-sounding name obscures its true nature, we asked for
your suggestions for a new moniker. Recasting the RRW initials, readers
came up with Rapaciously Radiating the World, Reward$ for the Right Wing,
and more. But most of you agreed that we need to start calling it exactly
what it is – <STRONG>a new hydrogen bomb</STRONG>. Wrote one respondent,
“The history of nuclear weaponry is filled with language that distorts
reality and sounds reasonable, safe, pallid, and uninteresting. We need to
change that by calling a spade an extraordinarily lethal shovel.” Another
said, “This is nothing to be cute about...we need to call it exactly what
it is and publicize the destruction it could bring.” <A
