...soft glow of lights illuminates Harvard Stadium like a dream. Noise swells as the Crimson offense takes the field. Armanti Edwards steps under center; his breath, cloudy and heavy in the cold, is like the exhaust of a racecar. He surveys the field and barks an audible before taking the snap. Dropping back, he bounces slightly on his toes, poised, balanced, alert. Then, like tires hitting the pavement, he takes off downfield. He zigs toward the sideline, zags back to the middle of the field, dances past the secondary, and cartwheels into the end zone. The band trumpets his glory...
...unmuffled bikes again sounded its response, filling the air with exhaust and making the ground quake. It was McCain's sort of crowd: heavy with vets and drunk with freedom-loving fervor.

Persistent failure to think through the project...

The company hopes to open landfills for radioactive waste in Europe, profiting from what Creamer hopes will be a massive rollout of new nuclear power plants there and throughout the world. EnergySolutions has significant operations in Britain. About 50% of the company's revenues come from business in the U.K., where it manages 22 nuclear reactors, 18 of which are currently in the decommissioning phase. The waste from...
