...back when the general public was relatively unaware of the dangers of nuclear power, the Clamshell Alliance formed as a loose coalition of grass-roots antinuclear groups throughout New England, united in calling for an end to the Seabrook plant and the shutdown of nuclear plants in New England and across the nation. Sharing a common perception that the nuclear regulatory process had become a farce, Clamshell concluded that only direct citizen action could stop nuclear power...
...year, and Pudge Fisk complies by clubbing the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth somewhere near Kenmore Square. As Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over 'til it's over." Well, it's all over: Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 5. They can let the grass grow in Fenway. And after a perfunctory series in Detroit, the Sox can relax, play golf, smoke dope and work out on the Nautilus, and manage their investments.

His organizational strength has also been unimpressive in New Hampshire, where Reagan...

As he sits in front of the stately stone main house on his 10,000-acre ranch, Picosa, near his birthplace, with cicadas chirping hi the spotlighted trees and the lush coastal Bermuda grass, the last of these desires seems to be the only one unfulfilled. Near by is a ring for his quarter horses and another ring for showing his cattle. "I think I've got the finest herd of young bulls hi the country," the master breeder proudly boasts of his shiny red Santa Gertrudis cattle...
