Clinton's presidency ended before the power plants could be completed and the projects today are derelict-evidence, in Pyongyang's eyes, of Washington's bad faith. But those who defend the Agreed Framework say all Bush had to do upon taking office was follow through, and several years of dangerous saber rattling in Northeast Asia could have been avoided. Says Graham Allison, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense under Clinton: "The bad news is that this is four years, eight bombs' worth of plutonium and one nuclear test" after the Bush Administration veered from...
...quickest and easiest way is, as you would expect, to follow the crowd.

Often your doctor is left to make prescription decisions based at least in part on faith, bias or even an educated guess. That ought to be enough to spook even the least jumpy patient, but the fact is, recognizing just what a roll of the dice medicine...
...great?" shouted Deb Burch, a science teacher in Andover, Mass., who graded papers between lectures and excursions. Then my hood blew off, and, figuring I had about 30 seconds before frostbite set in, I ducked back inside. None of the hearty folks still outside made a move to follow...
