Countries such as North Korea and Pakistan, which have some plutonium of their own, as well as countries such as Iran and Libya that would like to, might begin to look seriously at what is on offer in the new marketplace.

The agreement was good for baseball, Miller said, but he knew it was even better for the athletes.
