...deficiencies in spent-fuel cooling systems. They realized that a problem had been sneaking up on the industry: half a dozen serious accidents at different plants had caused some water to drain from the pools. In the worst of them, at Northeast's Haddam Neck plant in 1984, a seal failure caused 200,000 gal. to drain in just 20 min. from a water channel next to the fuel pool. If the gate between the channel and the pool had been open, the pool could have drained, exposing the rods and causing a meltdown. Says Lochbaum: "It was a near...
...Tommy Thompson reports that Engler, a notoriously hard bargainer, played "bad cop" on the Republicans' three-man negotiating team. He helped box the Democratic Governors into an agreement that could vex the Clintonites: it maintains the entitlement-trashing that appalls the Administration's liberal wing, but its Governors' seal of approval would make it excruciating for the President to veto any such legislation.

But by last week, with his poll numbers drooping, Clinton needed a credible proposal, fast. A top Daschle aide, John Hilley (soon to join the White House...
...Exodus or the sacking of Jericho or just about anything else in the Bible. And new Bible-related discoveries and theories crop up all the time. Early next year, Biblical Archaeology Review will be reporting on two of them. The first is another impression of the scribe Baruch's seal, this one with a fingerprint on the edge that was presumably made by Baruch himself. The second is an analysis that claims to fix the precise location where the Ark of the Covenant (the "Lost Ark" of Raiders fame) was stored. That's sure to be controversial; the author contends...
