Since that shining moment of man's ascendancy over nature, the atom's peril has more often overshadowed its promise. The U.S. alone has enough nuclear megadestruction stored in warheads to equal the explosive power of ten tons of TNT for every person on earth. Efforts to harness the atom's illimitable energy for peaceful uses have been as humble as its squash-court birth.

Only now is nuclear energy beginning to prove...

He said, "PBH does not have a power base outside of the established institutions and no organization can accomplish serious change working within the system." Jeffrey P.
