...ensure the passage of the entire National Plan of Action was mapped out ahead of time. The night before the voting began, some 500 delegates were instructed on debating and voting procedures. They were told not to leave the floor without permission. Kentucky Delegate Allie Hixson, a cattle breeder, exhorted her state's representatives: "We want to be disciplined, cooperative, supportive.

At the moment there is no technology for disposing of this deadly garbage. But the stockpiles of nuclear waste smoldering away in upstate New York are only part of the problem. In addition, each of the nation's 65 nuclear generating stations also produces waste in the form of spent uranium fuel...

Training them isn't work. Besides, they are among the few dogs you can train to do something that still has a place in this world. As long as people...
