...Saddam's regime worked to keep as much as possible of the infrastructure of a chemical and biological weapons program in place, so that such programs could be rebuilt later. This would square with the oft-cited testimony of key defector Hussein Kamel, who pointed inspectors to a chicken farm in 1995 where scores of hidden documents and computer files had been hidden. Kamel had actually testified that Iraq had destroyed its chemical and biological weapons after the Gulf War, but that blueprints, computer files and molds for missile parts had been hidden. This echoes the case of the uranium...
...Hospitals hardly function, deprived of basic medicines, supplies, nurses and physicians. Most gas stations lay idle. There is no paper on which to print bank notes, and people stand in long lines trying to obtain cash from banks.

Promised Land Dairy offers a grownup caramel Dulce de Leche, along with rich vanilla, amaretto, strawberry, banana, peach and seasonal flavors like blueberry.

"We spent a great deal of money and up-front time handpicking these people based on peer-to-peer recruitment. It's a very different methodology from the way that most people gather bodies. We kind of modeled it after an MLM [multilevel marketing plan]--like an Herbalife or a Mary...
...Chernobyl disaster. It's a tough job. On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear-power station's No. 4 reactor experienced a massive fire and meltdown, releasing radioactive dust that wafted over Finland. The resulting contamination forced Finnish authorities to slaughter almost a half a million farm animals and restrict fishing in rivers and lakes in central and northern Finland until 1988. Those memories die hard. Indeed, Finland's Prime Minister, Matti Vanhanen, regularly speaks at an annual protest marking the anniversary of Chernobyl. The Finns are not alone in their opposition to nuclear power. Sweden is phasing...
