Even in the state-run newspapers, stories about the cyclone shared ample space with articles extolling the glories of conducting a referendum. The junta promises that the vote will usher in what it calls a "discipline-flourishing democracy." But the legitimacy of the plebiscite is further undercut by the fact that criticizing the constitutional draft is a crime. Nevertheless, some democracy activists have used the cyclone to register their opposition to the charter. Over the past several evenings, as large swaths of Rangoon remain dark because of downed electricity lines, a rash of spray-painted "x" marks have materialized, symbolizing...
Steve Creamer wants to talk about saving the world. The CEO of EnergySolutions, a nuclear power cleanup and disposal company, says it's his personal mission to help usher in the "nuclear renaissance," an era he says is coming on the heels of the carbon emission dark ages. Creamer has spent the past three years amassing a near monopoly on low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) management in the U.S. His company now handles 99% of such waste, which includes contaminated clothing, equipment residue from reactor water and other materials.

In her breezy dress, Kennedy personified an elegant ease...
...droves. Just as important as the event’s content and pub has been the timing: Instead of being held on a weekend afternoon, Yardfest 2008 will happen on a Friday night. A far more popular time slot for a concert event, it offers a chance to usher in the weekend on a notable high. Simply put, Yardfest will be hard to miss. The CEB’s endeavours to revive the annual Yardfest and by proxy, the social scene at Harvard, are both quite commendable and realistic. The dedication and fervor with which the new CEB has taken...
