		<description><![CDATA[The laboratory director of the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC), Dr. Patrick Fitch, said yesterday that research at the laboratory will not “create threats in order to study them”.

		<description><![CDATA[ Iran continues to enrich uranium. Enrichment is the process that makes natural uranium useable in a nuclear reactor or, if carried further, a nuclear bomb. Iran claims that the motivation for its enrichment program is entirely peaceful but almost no one outside of Iran believes this. With the United States shouting from the sidelines, [...]]]></description>

President Bush knows this, which is why he is so concerned about Iran’s nuclear energy program.  And this is why our country should not undercut nonproliferation goals by restarting a domestic reprocessing program, now called the [...]]]></description>

No, the budget is out of control in the sense that spending on the military is no longer subject to meaningful political review. [...]]]></description>

Wolfgang Pauli is a legendary figure among physicists. He is remembered for having both one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century and one of its sharpest tongues. One student’s paper he dismissed by saying: That’s not right;  it isn’t even wrong. (Or words to that effect in German;  Pauli was Viennese.) [...]]]></description>
