The "impossible" is underway in Japan. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake has badly shaken up several "indestructible" nuclear plants. Reactor No. 1 at the quake- damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station is in partial meltdown, and reactor No. 3 may soon join it. It's very hard to know what's going on," says [Peter Bradford] with a grim calm. "During Three Mile Island very much of what we believed to be true on day three turned out to be untrue in subsequent days. Even now, we still don't know how much radiation was actually released. It was less than was later released at Chernobyl. The American fleet of 103 atomic reactors is old and rickety. But more dangerous than old equipment may be overconfidence among regulators. "The phrase 'it can't happen' here is an ,"...

TUCSON, Ariz. - The invitation from Gabrielle Giffords arrived via Twitter on a bright Saturday morning in the southern Arizona desert: "My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on your mind or tweet me later. The House had wrapped up business at noon Friday and would not begin its first full week of work until Tuesday morning - plenty of time for Giffords, just sworn in for her third term in Congress, to jet back to Tucson for a weekend of retail politics. Giffords made the 2,300-mile trip most weekends and had it down to a science. She could squeeze six events into two days and still have time to hang out with friends and family before heading back.

The debate about punishing Russian human-rights abusers and voiding a Cold War-era trade law poses a test for the Obama administration's "reset" in relations with the former Soviet republic.
IT IS a question that merits its own Federalist Paper: When the legislature consistently fails in a fundamental duty, should the courts step in to provide a remedy? That the state of California has failed to run a humane prison system is beyond dispute. About 143,000 prisoners are packed into a system designed to hold 80,000. Overcrowding results in unrest, poor sanitation and untreated illness. It is also beyond serious dispute that California's Legislature, despite more than a decade of prodding by the courts, has not adequately addressed these problems.
There can be valid reasons for declining a wedding invitation. For example, that you used to be married to the bride or bridegroom and would have trouble keeping a straight face while listening to that person reciting lifetime vows. Or that you don't recognize any of the names on the invitation.
