...apparent victim of that policy is FORREST MCCARTNEY, director of the Kennedy Space Center, who was forced out last month after he twice refused to approve a final "go for launch" because of safety concerns. Both flights went smoothly after the problems were fixed -- in one case a hydrogen-fuel leak and in another a warped hinge and latch. William Lenoir, a former astronaut and top NASA official, insisted that McCartney had to go. NASA administrator and former astronaut Richard Truly concurred and offered McCartney a desk job at Washington headquarters. But McCartney has quit, to look...
...this global ring will reverberate through the drug trade for years to come. The Saccoccias, who are rumored to be returning voluntarily to the U.S. from Switzerland this week to face charges, allegedly commanded as much as 10% of the U.S. drug-money laundering market.

Satellite photos also show another and bigger (50-to-200-MW) reactor under construction; analysts think it will come on stream next year. A plutonium-reprocessing ! plant also is nearing completion. Fuel, of course, is not enough to make a weapon; it must then be shaped into an explosive device. A recent defector says North Korea has built an underground nuclear weapons design or research facility to construct deliverable bombs. They can be dropped from airplanes; but if the aggressor has only...
