And through the cluttered landscape of eyes and ears and signs that viewed him, he smiled warmly and told them all to condemn abortion, to uphold marriage, to aid the weary and the poor. He looked at masses of well-to-do's, of down-vested students all packed off to Business and Law and Success School and told them to forsake "possessions" and to forsake themselves, for Christ...

Said Georgia's senior Senator: "I feel the result is a personal victory...

Moreover, opposition to the environmental hazards of coal usage (which include black lung disease, the scarring of the land by strip mining, and air, water and thermal pollution) cause the Project to condemn coal. The stalemate between government and industry leaders and nuclear power critics over the true costs and benefits of nuclear power has ruled out adoption of that power source in the short term...
