EnergySolutions is not the first company to ask permission to bring waste into the U.S. In the past ten years, LLRW shipments have come in from Canada, Ukraine and Germany. The Italian shipment, however, would be several times larger than any that have come in before. EnergySolutions refused to say how much a contract for the Italian waste would be worth, and it's difficult to estimate, given that EnergySolutions would charge by the cubic foot, not by weight, and international rates for LLRW disposal vary widely...
...their lives. For the people who survived the cyclone's wrath, there is little time to grieve. Makeshift huts must be constructed, drinking water procured. And in at least five villages along the Irrawaddy, residents say that not a single government official has come to assess the damage or bring relief supplies nearly a week after the May 2-3 storm abated.

Clinton's slim margin of victory in Indiana was provided, appropriately enough, by Republicans, who were 10% of the Democratic-primary electorate and whose votes she carried 54% to 46% - some, perhaps, at the behest of the merry prankster Rush Limbaugh, who had counseled his ditto heads to bring "chaos" to the Democratic electoral process by voting for their favorite whipping girl. Clinton's new glow, her newfound stump proficiency, her symbiosis with Limbaugh, seemed an eerily Faustian narrative. But, as we know, those sorts of bargains tend to end badly. In this case, the upper-crust liberals...
...backed by U.S. troops have established some positions as part of the offensive. It remains unclear where U.S. or Iraqi troops may go into Sadr City as part of a new push. But any significant thrust by U.S. and Iraqi troops into the densely populated area is likely to bring intense resistance from guerrilla fighters of the Mahdi Army, which is loyal to Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr...
