...authority to the states," she says. "This is what he talks about in just about every speech." Next weekend, the Senate majority leader begins a two-week vacation to catch his breath and plot a course through the next few months, which will feature a flurry of activity on Capitol Hill. Edwards says that the retreat will be a working vacation, and Dole will seek the advice of his wife, Elizabeth, and trusted friends...

The NRC barred him from its public meetings until a judge ordered the ban lifted. But Comley's game evolved: instead of demanding that plants be shut down, he began insisting they be run safely. He teamed up with the sharp-witted Hadley to aid and abet whistle blowers and sank his life savings into We the People before taking a dime...
