...starters, by killing one another. In this and other surface ways, Deadwood is like many westerns. There's a bad guy, saloon owner Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), who lives large by relieving the locals of their gold nuggets and having his thugs plant a bowie knife in anyone who gets in his way. But he is threatened when--yes--strangers ride into town. Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) is a former marshal with plans to open a hardware store. He's less a good guy than a control freak. In his last act as marshal, he hangs a horse thief without...
...still as a painting. Indeed, Rosemary Laing's latest suite of photographs, One Dozen Unnatural Disasters in the Australian Landscape, sits charmingly alongside a new exhibition of the colonial painter John Glover. If his A View of the Artist's House and Garden, 1835, shows how Glover tried to plant a corner of England in the wilds of Tasmania, so Laing's Burning Ayer #1, 2003, illustrates a similar impulse to Europeanize the Outback. Here the photographer has shot a mountain of Ikea-type furniture dusted in ocher and shaped like Uluru - a supremely surreal image: Laing had the mountain...

...National security sources tell TIME that the New Mexico plant could face closer scrutiny and a more rigorous approval process. "What U.S. technologies might become available to URENCO as a result of its operations here?" asks a senior U.S. national security official. "Given the President's non-proliferation initiative, we will need to go beyond technical aspects of the plant and look at the strategic policy implications." A high-level U.S. nuclear administrator raised nearly identical concerns last year about URENCO/LES plans to build a comparable facility in Tennessee, but those plans were withdrawn by the company...
...this point, however, approval for the New Mexico project rests with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a federal agency which reviews technical aspects such as the reliability of the plant's enrichment equipment, but not national security implications. The review process normally takes about three years, but Senator Domenici has promised to introduce legislation in Congress that would cut that to two years or less. Domenici's proposal would also make approval of the plant more likely by limiting review of the plant's environmental impact, truncating the appeals process for those who object to the plant and allowing...
