Organizing principles, such as Kubrick’s blunt political attitudes

    An alternate title for Kubrick’s film was Dr. Doomsday or: How to Start World War III Without Even Trying. A title bluntly stating what the actual title infers - that America and the Soviet Union had both taken brinksmanship way too far, and were both one slip of the hand away from killing off the entire human race.
