First you have to get the plutonium or the uranium. Either material will do the job. But since much of the nuclear stuff offered for sale is bogus, a smart buyer would need access to a no-questions-asked research lab, perhaps in a place like Iran, to test the material. An amateur would use about 18 lbs. of 94% plutonium-239 or 55 lbs. of uranium to make a Hiroshima-strength bomb. Then you have to detonate it. The basic principles of bomb technology are available to anyone who knows where to look up the information, but actually constructing...
...clout of the rating system. Jack Valenti, the MPAA boss who invented the system, insists it is "purely voluntary" and meant only as a guide to parents.

Dante II is not quite smart enough for full autonomy, but considering that it took less than a year to design and build, it is remarkably close to self-sufficient. Says Lavery: "The consensus was, if we had another four or five months, we would have had that ability...
Shame is stuffed with such slack reasoning and prose. But bad writers deserve the same freedoms as good ones. If, as is to be hoped, Nasrin gets out of her troubles, she may even prove that persecution is a smart career move...
