Gould says it's not hard to trace the change in creationist tactics that have brought the movement its current success. "Several (pro-creationist) bills were declared un- constitutional in the mid-seventies, so the creationists had to change their tactics. They're still what they always were--namely, pushing fundamentalist Christianity--but they realize the courts won't let them do that anymore.

...until after the EPA question is resolved in court this October, but community groups opposed to the plant have not been mollified. The plant has cleared many hurdles, but not without stepping on what protestors consider some tenuous turf.

Streep is now and forever a New Yorker, without a trace of a tan or of West Coast show-biz gloss. She bounces into a magazine photo session, wearing a dime-store sun dress and dark glasses held together by a safety pin. She is a fan of egg creams (a New York soft drink made of seltzer, chocolate syrup, milk...
