...waste-disposal problem is getting worse. Scientists cannot agree on the safest method of permanently burying nuclear garbage, some of which remains radioactive for thousands of years.

So White has labelled Timilty a "basic barroom drinker with general tastes" and accused him of floating all over the issues. "I believe he cannot run this city and I think everyone in the business knows it but the public," the mayor says, "I can see him now getting elected saying. 'Uh, what do I do now?"' Timilty hasn't hesitated to step into the fray, of course. When asked about possible names...
