...first in Istanbul. "Moscow will go on the attack over U.S. efforts to renegotiate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty," says Meier. "They'll put their own issues on the table even before the West raises Chechnya." As if to underline the new bellicose mood in Moscow, a Russian nuclear submarine Wednesday test-fired two ballistic missiles - the third Russian missile test in a month. "We can expect a lot of bluster from Yeltsin," says Meier. "And even a dramatic gesture wouldn?t be surprising." That could be sparked by the presence of representatives of the besieged Chechen government. Unconfirmed...
Humphreys works at Sandia in a weapons engineering group, which does not do scientific research. He has never seen fit to explain to geologists at Sandia why he thinks their work to characterize the stability of nuclear waste sites is incorrect by many orders of magnitude. Doesn't he have a moral obligation to speak out? If these rocks have only been around for 6,000 years, then scientists' conclusions about their stability--and therefore their safety--are all wrong! It appears he would rather make trouble for schoolteachers than for his coworkers and he'd rather get his name...

We need to have the maximum number of U.S. government-supported controls on weapons development. This will increase our security and our level of comfort with the continuing trade in and information exchange on the peaceful uses of nuclear...
...hands and jumped. Beijing and Washington announced an historic trade agreement Monday, in which China agreed to open up its economy in exchange for membership in the World Trade Organization. For Clinton, the deal means going head-to-head with a hostile Congress, whose enmity toward Beijing over alleged nuclear spying will amplify protectionist sentiments in the legislature. Congressional approval is required because implementing the deal depends on the House of Representatives' dropping legislation requiring annual approval of China's Most Favored Nation trade status. But with the U.S. business community solidly behind the deal, the White House...
