Says Communications Manager Doug Bedell: "The legacy of mistrust and distrust is very real and all we can do is slog along and be straightforward." But he has a lot to overcome. One of Pat Smith's anti-nuclear-power buttons reads THEY LIE; the I is in the shape of a cooling tower with a menacing plume escaping from...
