[ RadSafe ] RE: SCIENTIST PRESIDENT

[HOWARD.LONG at comcast.net]

Will science (like nuclear energy plants, started by Rickover, Rockwell et al in USN submarines)
be better advanced by a USNavy pilot whose life depended on applied science and a governor who brought oil company pipeline technology, Canadian politics and USA consumer need together - 
- or by lifetime lawyers and politicians who oppose nuclear recycling? Space, likewise.

Judge for yourself tonight. Then vote.
