...lessen the danger of future accidents, the commission recommended that plant operators be held to stricter training standards and that future plants be built far away from major population centers.* The commission also urged that the NRC be replaced by a nuclear czar appointed by the President.

...continued to exert pressure on the Harvard Corporation to share the problems and responsibilities of providing people with housing with the City of Cambridge.

It's a little hard to gauge the strength of the CHT campaign effort--the group as of Friday hadn't filed the campaign finance report...
