...article "Spring Break brings Welcome Respite" (news story, March 21) by Emily B. Wong failed to mention the Kuumba Singers tour of various churches in cities here in the Northeast. Not only would this have added an interesting contrast to the Southern trips taken by other groups, but Kuumba is also a largely minority group taking part in spring break activity...
Harvard's record this year is comparable to last year's, but the successful spring break should boost its ranking into the top 30. A dominant league performance may earn the squad a coveted No. 1 Northeast seed, which facilitates the route to a spot in the NCAAs. Look for this newly tanned team to showcase its talents...
...Northeast eventually made the fuel-pool cooling-system changes Galatis demanded, but the NRC rejected his plea for it to suspend the company's license, insisting that "the relative safety significance" of the fuel-pool issue "is low," a conclusion disputed by a host of industry-watchdog engineers. The "pervasive noncompliance" that Galatis uncovered, the agency admitted, did pose a potential threat to public safety. The NRC informed Galatis in December that its long-term shutdown of Millstone "constitutes a partial grant of the petitioner's requests." The agency is delaying a decision on enforcement actions until the U.S. Attorney...
...investigators, he encountered only more contempt from management. The prevailing attitude was best summed up, he says, by the supervisor who took him aside and said, "The NRC's only beating us up because of the publicity. This will all blow over." In June, Galatis and George Betancourt, another Northeast engineer who backed him, accepted severance agreements. Galatis moved to Massachusetts and enrolled in Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He expects to enter the ministry...
Like many current and former Northeast workers interviewed by TIME, some of them whistle blowers and others just quietly disgusted, Galatis is convinced that despite appearances, nothing has changed at Northeast or the NRC. Galatis' lawyer, Ernest Hadley, has filed a new petition on behalf of a Millstone engineer named Al Cizek, alleging more wrongdoing and calling on the NRC to suspend Millstone's license if Northeast racks up more safety violations. These skeptics believe the NRC's new vigilance is mostly for show. As evidence, they point to a February working lunch between Northeast's Kenyon...
