...despite the recent improvements, the report says that steps to minimize the nuclear threat are insufficient, citing the danger posed by recent breaches including terrorist teams carrying out reconnaissance at nuclear warhead storage sites in Russia. “A gap continues to exist between urgency of threat and pace of our response,” Bunn said. Bunn devotes a significant portion of the report to stressing the urgent need to combat nuclear proliferation, warning of the repercussions of a “terrorist mushroom cloud over the cinders of a major city.” He details...

The track is so good that I might even buy it. Grade: A 50 Cent – “I Get Money?...

I swore off coffee and spent the next two or three weeks chewing my way, at a thoughtful, decaffeinated pace, through the book. I’ve gone back to the brew by now—both literally and metaphorically—but I did it knowing that my literary antacid is always at the ready...
