...week at 89. For the first dozen years of his career, from his arrival in Washington as the upset winner of a 1952 race for the Senate to his climactic run for the presidency in 1964, he was notorious for casting lonely and unpopular votes--against the 1963 Test Ban Treaty, for example, and against the Civil Rights Act a year later.

"We are still awaiting further information and analyzing the data we have already received," Carlos Hernandez of the CTBT told TIME. "Our function is to simply document when and where nuclear test explosions occur, and to measure their size." Pakistan has refused to comment on questions concerning unexploded devices. But you might want to think twice about taking a job as a janitor at Pakistan's Chagai nuclear test site...
