At the time, Pollster Patrick Caddell likened Cuomo to Sandy Koufax when he was riding the Dodger bench. Everyone knew Koufax had enormous potential. Then one day Koufax found his control and went from being...
...mishap comes at an awkward time for Britain, where planners are eager to build a new generation of nuclear plants. While Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher declared last week, "The record of our own nuclear-power industry is absolutely superb," Chernobyl could force long delays in approval of the utilities.
