...officials only recently disclosed publicly that, in fact, there had been eight leaks and spills going back 10 years. Most occurred in pipes that are supposed to safely dispose of waste but on some occasions leaked tritium into the ground water. One spill, in 1998 at the company's Braidwood generating plant, dumped some 3 million gallons of water that was still in the ground eight years later, albeit in small doses...

DIED. LINDA BRAIDWOOD, 93, AND ROBERT BRAIDWOOD, 95, husband-and-wife archaeologists who died within hours of each other in the same hospital; both of pneumonia; in Chicago. The couple, who were married for 66 years and worked side by side at the University of Chicago, found in 1964 what was thought to be the earliest known building, in southwestern Turkey. Robert was said by some to have been a model for the famous screen archaeologist Indiana Jones...

...years," says Haglund, 34, who plays snide computer hacker Langly, "I'd have a different set of glasses on each time, because I'd just throw them back into the prop bag."

RESERVATIONS about the play do not detract from the merits of the production. The acting, crowned by Hume Cronyn's compelling performance, is excellent. The other characters, however, are left with usually sketchy parts. Margaret Braidwood as Mrs. Crowe and Paul Harding as the Bishop of Caerleon were splendid, though Donald Ewer as Mr. Crowe's accomplice in blackmail burlesqued the role of Jeremiah Sant with a thick Irish accent. Liza Cole, Julie Andrews' mother in Hawaii, played the warm-hearted Agnes with unabashed charm. Her reward after the wildly sentimental scene with Hadrian in the Papal chambers...
