...site, the locus of the bulk of Smith’s communications about the working groups’ activity, still includes outdated information. Some groups list incorrect members, and some list members who, in interviews with The Crimson, were entirely unaware of their membership. The site also identifies a SEAS working group that was ultimately folded into a standing Steering Committee led by the Dean of the school...
...deployed warheads - those mounted on intercontinental missiles or bombers - to 1,550 for each side, which is about 30% below current levels. The total number of missiles and bombers available for launch at any given time will be cut to 700, less than half of current levels. That still leaves more than enough firepower to destroy the infrastructure and war-fighting capacity of both nations many times over. What's more, the treaty focuses only on deployed warheads, and does not limit the amount of warheads, missiles and bombers that either side may keep in storage. Nor does it address...
...industry with the current life expectancy of Jesse James' next marriage. If you make money from fishing bluefin tuna, and bluefin tuna go extinct, you are out of business. It's really not complicated. The southern bluefin is in even worse shape than its Atlantic counterpart, and scientists still haven't figured out a way to effectively farm a fish that weighs more than an NFL lineman, is entirely carnivorous and takes 30 years to reach its maximum size. Of course, fishermen can switch over to albacore or yellowtail or other, smaller tunas, but nothing makes money like bluefin, which...
...Nobu if they can't get bluefin? Half the time they don't even know what kind of tuna they're eating anyway. I recently had albacore sashimi in Michael Schulson's Izakaya at the Borgata in Atlantic City, N.J., and it was incredible - rich, silky, firm and, better still, something I hadn't already eaten 10,000 times. If a casino restaurant can do sushi like that, why can't everybody? And we diners have to do our part by refusing to order wild bluefin or even making our peace with a farmed tuna, if one ever make...
...That still might not be enough to save the tuna, any more than driving a Prius will halt global warming while coal-fired factories run night and day in Chongqing. But it might be enough to make serving wild bluefin seem uncool, wasteful and uncreative. Which it is. The Japanese are not immune to questions of style; maybe they will follow our lead out of mere embarrassment. Or maybe they won't. But either way, the loss of a creature that has been living here since before the continents formed won't be on my hands...
