Opponents have accused Kucinich of using racist appeals in his campaigns. In the nonpartisan mayoral primary, Kucinich polled only 15.3 per cent of the black vote compared to 25.3 per cent for Republican Lieutenant Governor George V. Voinovich.

Radioactive waste and the need for a place to dump it. Thus when Washington Governor Dixy Lee Ray early this month shut down her state's Hanford dump, one of the three- such sites available to U.S. producers of low-level radioactive wastes, there was immediate concern in the nuclear medicine departments of hospitals and research centers across the U.S. Some nuclear power plants can use on-site storage areas for radioactive wastes. But hospitals and universities with limited storage capacity rely on regular pickups by private carters. For them, a wide array of vital tests...
