Dubious Material. Classification is a byproduct of America's rise to world power. As the U.S. made its far-flung commitments in World War II, secret military information began to accumulate. The cold war speeded up the process. In 1953 President Eisenhower tried to straighten out the classification chaos by issuing an executive order. It broke down classification into three categories that are still used today: top secret, secret and confidential.

To avert collisions, tankers will use special guidance systems. The refinery will be equipped with antipollution devices. As a bonus, Clean Fuels has even offered to treat Searsport's sewage-free...
Most of the problem of dependency in America today is the byproduct of a defunct system of Southern agriculture. It has been a kind of fly-now, pay-later arrangement, only the bills come due not in Mississippi but in Chicago. A lot of persons in Chicago ask, reasonably enough, in what way they are responsible and why they should...
