...Different people have different ways of expressing pain and anxiety," says Dr. Deborah A. Pilgrim, a counselor at the Bureau of Study Counsel who works with students with eating disorders. "[Bulimia] is certainly an expression of pain, and there are a lot of questions about why it gets expressed this...
Part of the problem is cultural. Pilgrim says American society places too much emphasis on women's bodies, often measuring a woman's worth by her external appearance, her shape and slimness. Slimness is frequently equated with high worth...

Especially troublesome is the cost of the construction: the price tag may exceed $200 million...
Federal law requires that by 1993 each state using nuclear power must store their low-level wastes within the state at taxpayers' expense. Pilgrim and Yankee Rowe produce most of the low-level waste in this state. Because nuclear power depends on materials that stay radioactive for many years, the plants--which will eventually burn out anyway--will continue to cost taxpayers money long after they close. Closing them now would help reduce those costs. The Mass. Executive Office of Energy estimates that residents can save themselves $1.5 billion over the next 20 years by permanently closing Pilgrim alone...
...Neither Pilgrim or Rowe has ever significantly contributed to the energy needs of state consumers, because neither has ever worked well enough to operate at peak efficiency. Rowe ran at reduced efficiency for more than three years recently due to equipment failures, and Pilgrim, which has never operated at a level better than 50 percent of capacity since it opened in 1972, has been closed for repairs since 1986. Much more efficient alternatives exist and are ready to take up the slack of closing these plants according to energy conservation groups...
