...himself justice. Accompanied by two or three of his gang--a strange Pakestanian named Ajay, a marvelous Melanesian named May, an oafish Belgian named Hugey and a 30-year-old Canadian farmer's daughter who throws away her sedate life for the promises of a man she met once in Bangkok--he roams the Asian continent, Sobhraj is more than a simple drug and rob man; he is a conman, hustler and egomaniac.

He had but one eye, and a hook where his right hand should have been.

The federal government needs to undertake to determine the effects of the waste storage and the potential of on-site incineration. If, on balance, the dangers of waste outweigh the benefits of the medical research that produces them, then either the medical research should be halted or we should turn to on-site incineration, if it is feasible. If waste storage is safe, Harvard...
