...rare point of agreement with activists, the nuclear industry also says regulations threaten to drive some plants out of business, but it argues that many NRC rules boost costs without enhancing safety. "The regulatory system hasn't kept pace with advances in technology," says Steve Unglesbee, a spokesman for the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry's p.r. unit.

In the face of numbers like those, the G.O.P. mantra--that growth alone...
...meet next week to propose a new schedule for getting talks under way. Whether Sinn Fein and Adams will be included depends very much on the I.R.A. Some sources in Belfast were suggesting that the Docklands bombing was a one-off operation to express dissatisfaction with the slow pace of negotiations, but last week another I.R.A. bomb was discovered in the West End of London. It was much smaller than the Docklands device and was disarmed by security forces before it could explode...
