Weber and company live a frugal, catch-as-catch-can existence, begging meals and a place to sleep wherever they stop. A Rochester, N.Y., Jesuit high school teacher...
Although the AEC'S assurance has not slowed the heated objections of environmentalists and local politicians, the chances of stopping the next two blasts are slim. But opponents are now trying to ensure that Wagon Wheel's five bombs sound the death rattle of the nuclear-drilling program. The idea of 140 more subterranean nuclear explosions is "absolutely out of the question," says U.S. Senator Floyd Haskell of Colorado, who along with others is concerned about triggering earthquakes. "I just don't know what would happen seismically after you've wracked the earth 140 times," says...
