...board addresses energy worker issues around the country - from the Savannah River nuclear weapons plant to the workers who handled plutonium at a weapons plant in Paducah, Kentucky - without, its chairman told TIME, any pressure at all to consider impact upon the federal treasury. "I don't think any of us are concerned with that," Ziemer says. "I don't even know how much money is available. We were never told to try to limit the numbers." He added, "There's a lot of tension in what I'd call the emotional aspects. But why didn't Congress fix this...

For white Americans, who are most accustomed to distinguishing males from each other according to their height, hair color, and eye color, many black males look alike. The dean’s student work-study assistants were reportedly called upon by the police to vouch for the dean’s legitimacy. No more in this case than in the others does the subsequent apology erase the humiliation of a victim whose mountain of accomplishment is so swiftly reduced to rubble, based on the unreflective impulse, willful ignorance, or hallucinations of an underdeveloped white...
