...domestic policy. To much delight, nothing changed: Western films were sold everywhere, women wore skimpy veils, and couples held hands in the street. But the long, libertine honeymoon is over. The hard line now seems to begin at home for the Ahmadinejad regime (which last week inaugurated a new reactor project, defying a U.N. demand to end its uranium-enrichment work by Aug. 31, and gave only a tepid response to the West's offer of incentives). Over the past few months, various branches of the government have stealthily rolled back freedoms with moves like the reinstatement of gender segregation...
...flutter of laundry on clotheslines. But the laundry has been there, day and night, since April 27. On that day, most of the town's 40,000 citizens hastily collected a few belongings and piled into buses that evacuated them from the vicinity of the shattered Chernobyl nuclear reactor only half a mile away. They did not know then, and do not know now, whether they will return home in months or years. One of the few Americans who have seen Pripyat is Dr. Robert Gale, a bone-marrow specialist who helped Soviet doctors cope with the Chernobyl disaster, which...
...other words, he needs a little propulsive help if he is to be something more than an agreeable reactor instead of an actor , and that's what You, Me and Dupree doesn't supply him. It is full of promising comic notions, which are truncated rather than fully exploited and that forces him to run on niceness, not the desperation that might take him to full-scale dementia. When he does approach that state - as in a chase with a security guard at his father-in-law's office, the Russos don't really know how to develop...
...small-scale enrichment experiments before any talks can be held. Instead, pragmatic elements close to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have indicated a willingness to accept a deal in which Iran agrees, for a defined period of years, to refrain from industrial-scale uranium enrichment and instead acquire its reactor fuel from Russia or elsewhere. Nonetheless, they hope to come away from the table with an agreement that allows them to continue enrichment experiments, under international monitoring, with a cascade of centrifuges too small to create weapons-grade material...
...only one that resulted in public deaths or illness was the catastrophe at Chernobyl, Ukraine, in 1986, which caused some 100 deaths and 4,000 cancer cases. Nuclear advocates say that plant would never have met international standards, and that the lessons of past mishaps make today's reactors safer than ever. Visiting Australia last week, Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore told ABC Radio: "Within 10 miles of U.S. nuclear reactors, 80% of the people support the reactor, because they have seen it operating for 10, 20, 30 years without any incident." A recent study by the Australian Nuclear Science...
