...Bodman "was personally disturbed" by the matter. As well he ought to have been: New details obtained by TIME offer an even more disturbing picture of security at the nation's nuclear inner sanctum than the one outlined last year in a no-nonsense investigation by the Department's Inspector General. In fact, according to government documents, the woman who made off with the weapons designs was herself engaged in chronic illegal drug use and other serious security breaches that have never been made public. Documents also show that the DOE is investigating separate drug use by at least...
Mugabe has also targeted some longstanding foreign adversaries. The West, particularly Britain and the U.S., is plotting to recolonize Zimbabwe, he says. That paranoia courses through every level of the country's security apparatus. A large map in Inspector Moyo's office highlighted in red "areas of political activity"--which turned out to be every town or large village. A directive on the wall reminded him his job was to "investigate all cases of a political nature, suppress all civil commotion and gather political intelligence."

...heifer die. There's a better way: the usda has developed regulations for shooting bison in the field.

Under the regulations, an inspector must attend the kill and the animal must be transported to a usda butchering facility within the day. Your bison burger would cost more if it came from an animal killed this way. But it would be a small price to pay not only to save a species but to finally...
Hans Blix, the Swedish diplomat famed for his recent work as U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, said last night that the United States should spearhead the nuclear disarmament effort. He spoke before a full audience in the Kirkland House Junior Common Room. The U.S. is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968, but has refused to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which has been ratified by 138 states world wide. “I would like to see the U.S. come back to the role of ‘lead wolf’, and come...
